Is it just me or are things exceptionally cute when they are the wrong size? I first had these way back when, before I had kids, back when I was teaching. A student brought them in and I almost died over how cute they were. Right then and there I made up my mind that I would someday bring them into my child's classroom. That is back when I had really romanticized views of motherhood too. So in this picture I dreamed up I was skinny, stylish and pulled together delivering the worlds cutest ...

A Case of the Mondays Cure

Summer To Do List: Water Balloons
Our mission to check things off our to do list and make the most of summer continues. I introduced the summer to do list during my mid-summer crisis, which usually happens for me right around the Fourth of July.
