Soooo… you know how Valentine’s Day is essentially a day for the girls? Well, around these parts we took a page from our bff-the-w’s page and celebrate “Man Day” on Super Bowl Sunday. While I wrangle the littles, Honey sleeps in, gets breakfast in bed, dines on a lunch of his choice (which always without… Read More
Just by the skin of our teeth, we managed to squeeze in a little Groundhog Day lunch between a basketball game, the inaugural baseball practice of the season and supper out with Grandma Juju!
