Life with 3 littles

July 1, 2015

The house is a wreck. Toys are everywhere, the laundry (clean and dirty) are pilled high and look somewhat like the dirty dishes stacked in the kitchen.

May 16, 2015

When we moved to Colombia, we had to leave behind a lot of our stuff. But stuff is just stuff, right? One thing that hurt us the most to leave was books. Children’s books in particular.
