So we recently returned from an amazing 3 day family vacation in Yosemite. And, if you’ve ever been to Yosemite, you know just how beautiful and breathtaking it is. Our kids were in heaven.

No more bedtime battles…I hope
We’re doing a little experiment over here. Actually, it’s not so little. It was quite a huge undertaking over the weekend. But you see, we’re a little desperate. Once again. For sleep.
