Parents, Grandparents, and Pumpkins… Oh My!
October, November, and December are some of my most favorite months of the year. It seems like that are stock-full of all kinds of fun things to do. On Monday night, I made my World's Best Chili (stay tuned later in the week for that recipe) and both sets of grandparents (and Aunt Mal) came to ...

SCHOOL is BACK!
In between soccer and cheerleading, school has started back. As usual, our school had Open House night, where kids and parents both come to meet the teacher. The girls love it, mostly because they get to see the friends they haven't seen all summer. (They love their teachers too, ...
