A Jessie Toy Story Party… On a budget. What the prep!?!? Not too long ago (okay, a million years ago… we were a little behind with this post), Little Mama turned into the not-so-little 5 year old she always dreamed of becoming. Even as a 3 year old, she kept talking about turning 5 and […]

We did it. We survived first week of Kindergarten. Sorry. I guess I should be saying, SHE survived it. Yes, with flying colors. No, not without a hitch (or eight).
