*Picture Taken with My Phone Every day is a new adventure in our home.  We do many things that are not grand tasks, but just as important daily whims that need to be put on the to-do list and checked off.

Thursday, July 24th, 2008 in Thursday: The Importance of the Arts

Click here for the giveaway. My mother decided to humiliate me this past weekend. She pulled out old home videos of the annual Christmas concert and show my siblings and I would put on. There was a song of me singing “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and I was dressed up as Santa and […]
