Now, my son loves to bake and I love him, so I just feign enthusiasm and reach for the flour and oatmeal. I sigh a deep sigh while entering the zone of doom, trying very hard…
Project Jalapeño I
So, there I was… stuck with a window sill filled with containers. How charming. Everything for the cause, right?

If you want to enter, just answer the following question: “What’s…
Green Eggs And Ham
Seriously, the bright side to being sick together is that I can make him read Dr. Seuss’ “Green eggs and ham” to me while we’re spending hours lying on the couch under several blankets. The advantages of him growing up way too fast are becoming clearer every day. Next on the list: teach child how to clean windows.
