Alright, where to begin? Let’s back it up a month, shall we? Right around the time when I went from Kicking Ass* at blogging to falling off the wagon internet. For starters, I really did fall off the internet! Or at least my house did. While getting ready to move Kate to her Big Girl
Things Loved in May

What’s In Kate’s Lunch Bag?
This week’s featured lunch: A peanut butter and jelly “star sandwich” Cottage cheese Strawberries and grapes I’m still trying to get Kate to eat bread, and it’s been several weeks since I’ve offered her some so I decided to give it another shot.
