Bubble Bath Day

Since today is Bubble Bath Day, I think I should go soak in the tub for a bit. Maybe if I bathe when the children are eating dinner I can have the tub all to myself. I posted a picture for Cuddle Up Day this weekend, but I don’t think I’ll post one today. I […]

Cuddle Up Day

Today is “Cuddle Up Day“. That sounds so warm and fuzzy. I could try cuddling with Doug, but he falls asleep when he’s still and the loud snoring isn’t very snuggly. Although I am allowed to scratch his back until my arm falls off, any other physical contact with Tommy is only allowed for a […]
