Am I the only one whose kids grow like weeds? We just finished back to school shopping, for those of you who send your kids out to school. How are your kids doing? Are any of your kids already starting to outgrow some of their clothing? Maybe they aren’t already […]
While some people could make an argument that I’ve beaten the “bugging out” horse to death, there are more aspects that we need to discuss.
