Yup, I took my baby to a bar. I’ve sort of got a history of this. Relax, she didn’t smuggle a margarita or anything. Here’s my story before you start flipping out: I took my LilMiss (almost 2! can you believe it?) to our local bar (which also happens to be a normal restaurant on the…

FILOSOPHY: Stupid is not a bad word.
WARNING: This post can be considered a rant. On some roundabout level, I hope it inspires you to ignore and eradicate stupidity from your life, even if said stupidity is caused by outside forces. When you’re raising toddlers, stupid is a ‘bad’ word. Lately I’ve started to rethink this. Just the other day, I caught my…
FILOSOPHY: How to survive shopping with 2 or more kids.
