This weekend we attended a birthday party and started several new Christmas traditions. It was fun, but stressful. Between the events and the weather, Jackson was completely out of sorts. Saturday night he buried himself under these pillows for a little chill time. I probably needed to bury myself under some pillows, too. While the weekend was fun, it was also a reminder that birthday parties and other fun events are often more stressful for our family than fun. This weekend I pouted Continue Reading

It's Cyber Monday and there's going to be some pretty amazing deals on toys today. My inbox has been overflowing with deals from Toys R Us and Amazon.
