Thank you so much for letting me know-- when I get home from taking my kids to school I will work on getting this fixed.
DeleteI love Ryder's potty humor, what a cutie! Those chairs you bought for the living room are amazing. I think when I get new furniture I need to find some chairs like that.
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Ryder all dirty, and that poem. Little boys! I can't wait til mine is here. :-) love your hubby's invitation idea, lol. I think last year during the reviews was when I first became a reader. Love your valentines dinner.i must remember that; it's so wonderful that you include the kiddos.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see the Review Extravaganza back this year, Emmy! And I'm so delighted to already consider so many of the "hosts" my good blog friends!! :) I just reviewed the rules post, and realize I'm not eligible to win the prizes, so I won't enter the rafflecopter portion of it, but hope it's okay that I still link up :)
