The Adventures of Superwife

I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m raising a picky eater… But… I’m raising a picky eater. I mean, she eats all kinds of foods. It’s the QUALITY she’s picky about. Most recent prime example: A few mornings ago I was getting the girls up and ready for the day. As I was changing Jamie, Ellie headed [...]

I know I owe you all a birth story about my brand new daughter Jamie Lea, but it’s been a crazy couple of weeks here in the Fast household – cut me some slack, people, I have TWO FREAKING KIDS now! Anyway I promise, it’s coming. In the meantime, I thought I’d share another Ellie-ism… [...]
