In the Groove with Meals on Wheels
Our latest round of Meals on Wheels (MOW) deliveries inspired so much enthusiasm that Little Miss Three was absolutely worn out by the end. She fell asleep on the car ride home, and who could blame her, after all of those smiles and all of those...

Collecting for a Cause
This week in our effort to become a more giving family, we’ve started collecting our spare change for charity.
At 5 and just under 3, my girls aren’t exactly money savvy. Still, they do have a stash of money in their piggy bank....
