I am very excited, because there's a new Farmers Market on Sundays just two blocks from home. It's walking-while-carrying-30-pounds-of-toddler distance, and it's right beside the playground we already go to every Sunday. It is the most convenient Farmers Market that ever happened anywhere … [Read more...]
Toad-ally Grossed Out
I've posted before about my absolute fear of frogs and toads. It was embarrassingly obvious to all of my fellow UM bloggers when we were at Blue Mountain last month. Anytime we walked by the frog pond I would look straight ahead, walking quickly clutching whoever's arm was closest to my … [Read more...]
