  • It’s Friday the 13th – Let’s Get Spooky!

    If you haven’t noticed yet, I love a theme. The girls used to let me plan elaborate parties for them (ok, really they were just too little to protest), but now that they’re older, they want to have full control over their birthdays. So, I take any chance I can get to turn a regular…

  • Ogres Are Like Onions – Ogres Have Layers
