When people mention spring cleaning, I think of scrubbing the baseboards, shampooing the carpet or the dreaded window cleaning. Maybe cleaning out a closet or two…mostly so I can buy some more stuff. While you’re in the spirit of spring cleaning, your blog and social media accounts could use some sprucing up this time of…
I usually tell stories with words but you know what they say…a picture is worth a crap-ton of words…or something like that. So here is our week in pictures. Thank you for following along!

Yes, I know my kid is small. So does he, thanks to a well-meaning blabbermouth. Some backstory: Kyle turned 10 this spring. He’s the smallest person in our family and he’s always the smallest kid in his class. He realizes this and it bothers him. We nurture him and we build him up while trying…
