On Friday, E.B.’s class went on a field trip to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson. Our son has been so excited about this field trip, and not because he was going somewhere cool. He was much more thrilled that there was NO SCHOOL View Post
The great thing about having a seven year old son is that he is old enough to enjoy dining and shopping now. Woot! We’ve had a great time this past week going out to eat and checking out some shops downtown that we don’t get to stop in very View Post
Every spring my son enjoys "VIP" status at the county fair that rolls into town. His Paw-Paw just happens to work with other members of the American Legion at the admission gates that week to raise money for their programs that support View Post

Tomorrow is E.B.'s 7th birthday. I wish I had the time to bake him some homemade cupcakes to take to school for snack tomorrow, but I just don't. So, I did the next best thing...I high-tailed it to Kroger to pick out some cool cupcakes with mile-high View Post
