My mom brought me back undies for P from her trip to Colombia! Every time someone visits from our homeland they ask me what I want. I always say the same: undies for P! Why can’t I buy underwear for my kid in the States? Well, I have an issue with American underwear for girls. … Continue reading Cover that Bum!
Last week I made strawberry shortcakes with P. I got the recipe from Orangette and it recommends keeping the dough frozen until you’re ready to bake. The day after I made our first batch the oven stopped working. It’s gas; the stove works but not the oven. I have to find a repair man quick … Continue reading Broken Oven

A few weeks ago Dave cleaned off the back patio and P proceeded to take things and make a “beaver house”. It was entertaining to see the two of them out there spraying things down and moving … Continue reading Beaver House
