As a kid, one of my favorite things to do was to draw and color. Now that I have kids, I still like to draw and color, but now I get to share it with my kids. We have recently been renting books from our local library that teach you how to draw things like...

Mickey Mansfield — Mon, 14 Nov 2016 18:17:32 +0000

Yes, that’s right… we go to bed tired and wake up even more tired. That’s being a parent. Well, it’s being a parent in our house, anyway. Good thing we have coffee, right?

10 things they need to invent for parents

Mickey Mansfield — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 04:01:31 +0000
