So which was it? Trip to the ER or a great idea?

You all might remember that back in January of this year I blogged about my upcoming adventure with my new clipless bike pedals. If your memory is anything like mine (good but short) you might want to hit the link below and reread the original post. A great idea or a trip to the ER? […]

Aren’t we all kind of a Big Deal?

This photo says it all.  Little Miss Ava is a charmer in every way, beautiful blue eyes, a head full of curls and that wonderful toddler attitude that the world revolves around her,and ONLY her. Put her in this tank top and the package is complete! I just laughed when I saw her sporting this […]
