Two weeks ago after Religion Class, Gillian said to me “Mom, we are having a spring party next time. Can we make those chick cupcakes?” I am constantly surprised by Gillian’s memory. My mom bought me a decorating set where you can make cupcakes look like baby chicks. She bought it last year. I had… Continue reading Cupcakes
This year Gillian wanted another elf to join our Elf on the Shelf, Buddy. The kids even wrote Buddy letters asking for a girl elf to come to our house. Check out my post Dear Buddy for the letters.

I dropped Gillian off at school on Monday. On our way up the sidewalk, I asked Gillian “Wanna skip?” She said “No.” So we walked up the sidewalk to the building. When I picked her up that night, she decided to pout right outside the door. I wasn’t tolerating the attitude, and I ignored her.… Continue reading Walking
Daddy called me on his way home tonight. We were discussing dinner plans when I heard “Hi Mommy!” I said “Hi Beansy!” I then heard her mumble something.
