The one constant and unchanging thing is my love for Cofffee hehehehe

Anyway, it’s my baby boy’s 2nd birthday tromorrow!  I must go and wrap gifts.

After nearly ten years of serving up dinner, I’m wondering if we should take a closer look at presentation of food when trying to entice our children?

My older DS (7.5)  has hit the stage most children go through at about age 3 or 4.

Oh I just LOVE this time of year.

No more pick ups, drop offs, interupting Thomas’s day time naps- or mine hehehe!  Everyone can sleep in, and life ambles along at nice pace.
