Year 5, Day 202

On a recent trip to Costco, we agreed to let Miles pick out a snack of his choice -- something he could have on-hand that was quick and easy for car travel, such as our morning commute, or as an afterschool treat. He chose a massive box of Entenmann's Little Bites mini-muffins, and he's been … Continue reading Year 5, Day 202 →

Year 4, Day 348

"I want to listen to Puppy Dog Pals music," Miles requested as I strapped him into his car seat this morning.

Well one of us sure started getting … Continue reading Year 3, Day 64: Name That Song UPDATE! →

Year 3, Day 44: Name That Song 2!

Year 3, Day 14: Name That Song!

Miles is always picking up new songs and reciting them to us, and we always have fun trying to figure out exactly what song it is ("Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" was a recent one that stumped me for a few minutes). Well we've finally encountered one that we have absolutely no idea … Continue reading Year 3, Day 14: Name That Song! →
