Oftentimes, the parents are trying to fix their kid’s hair and clothes, telling them to calm down and be serious. This makes the childrens’ antics and craziness even more amusing...

Alexis Lilley turned ten and had a fab Hollywood glam party! Red carpet, camera, interviews, everything. Alexis is creative, fun and loves hot chocolate. She had lots of girls over to celebrate.

Random bits of yesterday…
Yesterday I was drinking from a water bottle and suddenly realized I was consuming my 4 year old sisters backwash as well. I looked at the bottle and saw a small city floating around at the bottom. Delish.
Yesterday I spent some time with a ten year old friend of mine. She sat...
