Character Shirts & Toy Guns

Two of the things I said I’d never, ever let my children have. That’s what I get for schlepping my boys to Target.

Two year old for sale, priced to sell

Last night, I walked in on Ben and Evan coloring all over themselves with markers. {Again} Benjamin, I scolded, you are the big brother. You are the one who needs to help teach Evan what’s right and what’s wrong. This is wrong. Don’t you understand that? I know, mommy, he answered. That’s what I was [...]
