Traveling with Kids: To Judge or Not to Judge?
Basically I have been eating humble pie ever since becoming a parent. Experiences like this are the reason we wanted to create a collection of t-shirts, onesies and totes that made light of how stressful traveling with kids is for parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc....We wanted to also remind people to show a bit of compassion on the flight when there is a screaming child next to you or a little size three show keeps kicking your seat. We promise we are trying our best to keep our kids calm, quiet and in their seat during the flight. We are sorry our kid just barfed in your lap, really sorry!

Mamaw's Angel Food Cake
***side note- My husband is from Southern Kentucky and the cuisine is quite different than the food in the midwest. When my mother-in-law shared this recipe with me I had no clue what one of the ingredients was- "1 small can Pet milk". I re-read the recipe a few times thinking- "please God, let this not be milk from an actual pet." To my relief I Googled Pet Milk and found out that it is an actual brand of condensed milk, not milk from a family pet.

I would them transfer between calendars so everything was current. I tried to do this with a nice glass of wine, but my accuracy was not to good, so I nixed the wine.

School Projects- Hands Off!
Projects have always been a joy and curse for me. Kid’s projects that is. With 8 children we did a lot of projects. Some for school, some for after school activities, as they got older my/our help was not so needed, but in the early years I thought I should have shared in the grade; when it was good. I have made salt maps, volcanos, sugar cube pyramids and igloos, soap box derby cars, and the Loch Ness Monster. The monster was my project for a golf guest day, he was great until he was pelted with golf balls and sank.
