Dyed Valentines for Kids

I don't know about you, but we've been working hard on our Valentine's over at Casa La Allen. It is Finn's 1st official V-Day at school this year and he is responsible for bringing a Valentine (or as I like to say "Valentimes") for each one of his classmates.

I’m out numbered, by a lot!

I might be crazy, but I took on watching my good friend's baby girl, Penny, on Mondays. Yesterday was our first day together, and I'm happy to report we all survived. You might remember that I helped Penny's mom and dad (Beak & Cam) get the nursery together prior to Penny's arrival. My mom might not have known what she was getting into but she volunteered to help get me through my first few READ MORE
