The kids are asleep and I can finally try to get some sleep myself! I walk past the empty laundry basket on the floor at the end of my bed and think I should move that. I know I'll probably get up in the middle of the night, as happens often with little ones, and trip over it! I'm too tired to bother and since I took that mental note, I'm sure … [Read more...]
Curious Cat Must Know What is in the Jar
My kids are curious about the world and intrigued by anything that moves, creeps, or crawls, so it's no surprise to find a jar with a caterpillar in it on my kitchen counter.

Prepared for a Pet Reptile? #ReptileCare
Delicious Reptile Pets It was a regular day. Nothing much happening in the neighborhood.
