Well, the understatement of the century would be for me to say “this has been an interesting week” LOL! Reality would probably place it in the chaotic and crazy realm.

Wonder Why We Call Him Monkey?
The other day I told you we moved the Twinkies into their own big boy bed … if you ever wondered why we call this little boy Monkey, this picture should answer that question for you.

My Punky Monkey
Our boys have been very healthy all fall and so far this winter. In fact, I’m pretty sure there’s been less than a handful of illnesses around here in the past year.

To Do List
Do you ever find yourself making a To-Do list that never ends? I was an avid list maker all through my teen years and even into adulthood. My mom was always commenting on my lists and my family all knew I kept them. To this day if I sound like I’m out of sorts or confused my mom tells me to “make a…
