I made a boo-boo the other day posting about which country would be featured at the fireworks competition last night. Raine saw the ad on TV that said it would be Italy. But it turned out to be a show by the global team.

The walls of our living room are rather stark, I have to say. But after visiting my friend’s home yesterday, I’m feeling just a tad inadequate about our walls .
PhotoFiddle seems to be exactly the home decorating solution I need. It allows me to create over 50 styles of artwork from photos of practically [...]

Being a parent of young kids means you have to adopt a security guard mentality whether you like it or not. I’ve observed that new parents tend to continue operating on swinging singles mode when out with their kids.
