Need a Detail?

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

The Magic of the Phone

Tuesday, June 01, 2010

OK - so this has nothing to do with spa-ing and absolutely nothing to do with relaxation but it does have to do with stress.  If you are a mommy (especially of preschoolers), have you ever noticed that as soon as you get on the phone, a child will show up with earth shattering information that must be shared with you right now?  They must
