by 152 Comments
This post brought to you by Lunchbox. With two big long haired fur babies in our home, it’s not uncommon to find random cat hair tumble weeds along our baseboards, especially underneath the sofa table. It’s like they know they are safer there and they all huddle together. The balls of fur seem to come from out of nowhere and often get missed by the kids when they are sweeping. I've been known to day dream about life 100 years from now. … [Read more...]

I slowly began to realize their popularity when the high school boys next door were excited to trade Trash Pack figures with Ethan. Ethan’s love for trash … [Read more...]
