It never ceases to amaze me how much *stuff* we have to pack just to get out the door. I sure hope I’m not the only one who feels like I throw everything but the kitchen sink into the car just for an afternoon on the town. That’s why I get so giddy for multi-tasking [...]

Me: Say “dada”. Her: Baba. Me: Say “daaaaaaaadaaaaaaa.” Her: Baaaaaabaaaaaa. Okay. Again, not quite what [...]
