And we're back

Sorry for the excessive time between posts, but our family relocated from Florida to Virginia in the span between post holidays and now. Moving with 2 toddlers cross country (is that far enough to be considered cross country) was uh…interesting. I had a week of attempting to pack up the house while the hubby was working in VA (thank goodness I had the best babysitter ever in FL) and then […]

 

Santa-acolypse

I’ve officially become the sort of yuppie asshole parent that waits in line for 3 hours just to see the “good” Santa. To be honest, I didn’t even realize that there WAS such a thing as a 3-4 hour wait to see Santa except in that scene in A Christmas Story. We had heard that the Mall at Millenia Santa was the best and that the lines could be long. […]

 

Fa la la la la la la la la

I think it is safe to admit I may have issues.

I love having the smaller wagon style car since it is easier to load […]

 

Phone Book People

Like most people, I’m always vaguely annoyed when a phone book lands on my doorstep. The phone book is pretty much just a waste of paper to me, since it lacks the ability to check reviews (Yelp has pretty much ruined me for life). However, I always assumed it just showed up out of some dude’s van or crawled forth out of the ground like a Stephen King novel. Turns […]
