Paint. Paint. Paint.
February 22, 2018
Toddlers are busy little humans. And finding a way to keep little hands occupied can be difficult. One of our favorite activities is painting. We started when Evie was about one or so. Back then, we used pudding that we added food coloring to. Sometimes more went in her mouth than on the paper — […]
Homecoming Anniversary
February 13, 2018
