New Kids Book Wizard and the Lizard: Wacky Weather
When my son saw the newest Wizard and the Lizard: Wacky Weather book on my desk, he immediately grabbed it and asked "Is this the second one of that book that I love?"

I Had the Best Mother’s Day Ever
This year, due to COVID-19 quarantine, we made no big plans for Mother's Day.

The Boy Who Only Ate Plain Noodles
My son loves noodles. Just plain spaghetti noodles with a little butter or olive oil. He doesn’t like to spoil it with any sauce. I keep trying to encourage him to try them differently- marinara, cream sauce, maybe some meatballs... but no, just noodles. It makes me think of a photo of me as a … Continue reading The Boy Who Only Ate Plain Noodles
