This blog is intended to document the follies, the conflict and the joys that are associated with raising Ella and Viv. My hope is that one day, they may be able to look back on these entries as thirty-somethings and say, "Maybe my mom gets it". Or perhaps more likely, use as fodder for a comedy sketch, moving autobiography or ammunition in their therapist's office. The intent of this blog is far from an "instructional" or "how to"...but this shoe lace tie toy (Note to self: Must come up with catchier name) that Jer and I made is exceptional. Ella learned in no time and the price was right.
