Five Favorites for Friday – Second Edition
By Fab Hub’s request, it’s time for another round of Five Favorites for Friday. As I booted up the laptop, I thought this in my head:
He Cooks! – Chicken Edition
Saturday was a busy day. It wasn’t supposed to be, but our unstructured, unplanned day turned into a whole bunch of stuff. Our one and only obligation was back-to-school haircuts for Kidzilla and Mom…
