Ohhhh to only hear the stories I recap from his point of view – I wonder what he’d say? Probably just “my mom is a $&%^$&$# lunatic dont mess with her.” End of story. Take this weeks adventure for example – Now I don’t consider myself high maintenance… Keep Reading

No one told me just how much STUFF kids need to travel – oh my. Now throw in the fact that I HATE to pack – absolutely HATE it, but love to travel and I have some new added stress in my life.
