What is it about tub time that makes kids want to do “Jack-Jack” hair? I am pretty sure every single tub involves one kid or the other with a pointy hair-do. For those of you that don’t know, Jack-Jack is the baby boy on the movie “Incredibles” and my kids adopted that name for this …

Out came the hats, gloves, snow-pants and jackets….at 7:00 am. The three girls enjoying the beginning of winter. They might as well because I am guessing it will only …

I decided to have another late night with my girls and their friends. Each girl invited a friend over and we partied it up! We ate pizza, played outside, did glitter toes/fingers, hair, make-up, etc. (What is it with girls these days wanting to get dolled up at such a young age?!). I had Jane, …
