Wish Big

Here's Riley's Christmas wish list:

• chapstick
• band-aids
• a purple reusable bag from Whole Foods

My bank account thinks that's reason enough to be very grateful this Thanksgiving.

A Bedtime Story

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who slept with four pacifiers.

Years later (two, actually), the little girl had long since outgrown her pacifiers. But she continued to exhibit obsessive bedtime behavior.

And they slept happily ever after.

Then end.

Halloween Traditions

For Halloween, we joined our group of friends for the third year running for a marathon evening of trick or treating.

Riley departed from tradition, however, when she forgot to throw her annual post-trick-or-treating meltdown. A happy holiday, indeed!
