My sister is a second-grade teacher at a Catholic school. It may or may not be part of the church where I sought sanctuary. Anyway, I love Amanda’s stories about her kids. Here are some of the little gems she’s sent me over the course of this academic year. Apparently, Catholic guilt is not plaguing the student…
“Tell me you didn’t decorate the Button with eggs.” “Yup, you bet I did!” Cheesy? Sure, it is! And this is me doing it anyway! I also procrastinated on posting these by an entire month and figure I best post them for my mom everyone to gush over before I post some from her 4-month…
Dear Button, Yesterday, we celebrated Mother’s Day as you turned 4 months old. It’s absolutely amazing that you have grown into this little person who smiles and talks back to us in a cacophony of baby notes. I don’t want to say this out loud because I fear that the Universe will find every way…

Here’s a little something to make the trip sweeter.”

It’s a…
