We got a cord blood discount of $250 using a coupon code to keep down the cost of cordblood storage with our second and third children. We didn’t do this with our first child due to the expense…That was in 2001. Over the last 7 years, cord blood research has been used to cure cancers, […]

My sister flew from the East Coast to visit us this week! The boys are SOOOO excited. We’ll refer to her as Aunt Super Cool, since that’s how the boys feel about her:) And me too. Aunt Super Cool is not married, and she doesn’t have children. She might have children at some point–if she […]

We were watching the final debate between the presidential candidates tonight. I like to hear what my sons think about lots of things. I thought I’d ask them what they think about the presidential candidates. Not surprisingly, I couldn’t get anything edgewise out of my four year-old except that he wants to play Nintendo.

What a fun conversation I had with my four-year old yesterday! He wanted to know all about college.
