May 11: My Six Kids

May 11, 2013

May 8, 2013

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and I have spent the better part of the evenings baking up stuff for Craig to give his staff at both campuses including two kinds of cupcakes, cookies, and banana-chocolate chip bread. But the girls really wanted to do something for their teachers as well. As much as I’d love to [...]
