relax.
I'm not sure what the weather has been like in your corner of the world, but here in the Midwest, it has been bizarre! (Which may be a bit of an understatement!) Last Friday schools were cancelled because of snow. Yesterday they were delayed because of ice. And today they were delayed due to fog… Continue reading relax.

Ruth’s WN Entry: Bath Time Routine
So, I totally forgot to take photos of the pre-dinner routine. I'll try for it this weekend & make another post on Inspiring Readers & Writers. So the bath time routine will have to suffice, which is fine, because I wanted to document this too. Let's try this entry in a different format -- a… Continue reading Ruth’s WN Entry: Bath Time Routine
