Posted on October 23, 2013 Written by Tonya

We have a Brittany and he is very smart. He's also extremely energetic, completely neurotic, overly sensitive, a disgusting poop eater, can't be trusted with dog toys because he'll destroy them and is too cute for words. He adores my husband … [Continue reading]

When You See A Parent Cry

Posted on October 22, 2013 Written by Tonya

In Praise Of The Lovey

Posted on October 21, 2013 Written by Tonya

It's been camping and to Disney Land, attends preschool every day he does and we wouldn't dream of taking a vacation without it. It has been gripped tightly on Ferris wheel rides, throughout Christmas pageants, while trick or treating, scary … [Continue reading]

Character Driven

Posted on October 17, 2013 Written by Tonya

From the toys Lucas lusts after, the food he'll tolerate, the books he begs to be read over and over and even his toothpaste, it's all character driven... Just to name a few in our house: Sponge Bob Squarepants yogurt sticks Clifford the … [Continue reading]

I Was Attacked

Posted on October 9, 2013 Written by Tonya

It's strange how with age, memories of my youth come back to me in waves. Vivid memories, snippets of conversations I had dozens of years ago and events down to the detail replay in my mind. Both good and bad memories occupy space in my … [Continue reading]
