My beautiful daughter, T1

Tee’s Sports Day

Posted on April 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Thank goodness, it wasn't raining. I wondered if there was a back up plan had it rained as it has been raining quite a bit lately. I was truly impressed at Tee's sports day as students of each house had to get together.......click to learn what next.

Teaching your child manners

This girl, she always gets what she wants. Not from me, mind you. But from anyone else she can con. The Hubs and I, we've banned this from our household and we've told her that we will not be buying it for her.......click to learn what next.
