We have been to the pool several times already this spring. Warm weather plus a slightly heated pool right around the corner equals afternoon perfection in my book. The boys have already been trying to get their homework done and eat their dinner so we can get out the door and swim for an hour… Continue reading Kids Swimwear
This past weekend was French Quarter Festival in New Orleans. I always have intentions of writing posts like this after we attend events so I am glad I am getting the opportunity to write this one. We were able to attend three of the four days which is the most we have been able to… Continue reading French Quarter Festival Wrap Up
One week to go, well four days to be exact, and then everyone in the area is off for Spring Break. It feels like this break is one of the longer ones the kids have and I am not sure why that is.
