Okay, honestly? It’s a little quiet this week. I’m sort of guessing that everyone’s just gearing up for their activities during the spring break. Speaking of the calendar in general, here’s some holiday fun: Cute W was fooled by this NPR story about nursery school today. Our old pal Blossom has some tips on Surviving … [Read more…]
This weekend is our elementary school’s annual Pancake Breakfast. We go every year, more for the used book sale than the food. I am a sucker for discounted books.
