When we first discovered that we were expecting, The Texan and I both knew that we wanted to expose our child to some of the things we remembered from our own childhoods. We talked about different nursery rhymes and determined that neither of us actually knew them correctly! We've been known to search the internet for the right words to a nursery rhyme. Please tell me that we aren't the only ...
Kansas City real estate market is affordable!
During my time as a work-at-the-office wife, I had the opportunity to travel quite a bit to attend a variety of conferences.
