A Dog Named Lego

So what’s a Mama to do when she is so busy filling wholesale orders, doing farmers’ markets, taking care of a six year old boy and ignoring her husband and housework? Why, get a puppy, of course. I won’t begrudge anyone who thinks I’m an utter lunatic, but I have to say I have never…

It is brutally hot here right now. I am a barely functioning human being. The good news is that a hurricane is on the way this Saturday.

Thinking Summer Hats and Blueberries

For those of you that have never met me, you might think that I am a four year old boy, by the amount of four year old boy photos that are posted here, but I’m quite a bit older than that. So, I thought it would be a good idea to put my own photo…
