Recently we had the good fortune of acquiring an amazing babysitter. Violet Nuit. Now babysitters can be amazing for a variety of reasons and each family needs its own special fit.

grand ideas are just that…
I had a grand idea of sitting down in my quiet place sipping an ice tea and writing a long lovely blog post that would bring great joy (or possibly sorrow or total apathy) to the masses. That post?

bring on the crazy…
In order to earn his keep around here while he visits we've been known to force my dad to perform certain tasks. This time around? He has to make ribs for us.
