I wrote the following for my MOPS group’s newsletter earlier this month. I have tweaked it some – cut some words, cut a portion of the “Mommy specific” wording, and included a link… a bloggers prerogative. Thanksgiving is upon us once again.

It’s Taper Week!
No, I’m not talking about the newest candle buy on Home Shopping Network… This is MUCH more exciting than that!

Indeed. Livi added, “Except (chew, chew, chew)… Mom (chew, chew, chew)… I didn’t really LOSE my tooth. Dad [...]

The Tooth Fairy
ran 11 miles yesterday. So, the Tooth Fairy was very tired come nightfall. The co-Tooth Fairy was out of town for the night, so the Tooth Fairy could not call for “back-up”. Since it was a First Tooth, the Tooth Fairy could not disappoint the very excited Olivia. Did I mention the Tooth Fairy ran [...]
