Matthew has a rugby shirt that we dress him in from time to time and, inevitably, results in Andrea or I telling him that he looks “so hansom”. Well, this morning, I was helping him pull the shirt over his head, and as I did so, he said, “Why do I always […]
I’ve been known to mutter some choice words when completely frustrated while driving. This doesn’t matter whether the kids are in the car or not. The other day I was driving home with the kids I had to slam on my brakes to not hit a car that cut me […]
