Turning the Tables

You know you need to get a little more sophisticated in your form of bribery when your 4-year-old turns the tables on you.

So finally, in a last ditch attempt to get me to change my mind, she said, “I’ll give you some money if you let me do it.”

  1. I just discovered your blog and have since voted for you on the Share the Love thing. My motherhood/interest resume reads almost identical to yours (including the three kids, sahm, scrapbooking, retail therapy, etc.) You’re a great writer and I look forward to checking back often!
