Okay that title makes sense if you have curly hair. Because according to the experts, you’re not supposed to wash curly hair everyday. Who’duh Thunk-it Right? (apparently it dries out or something like that) Instead they say that you should wash it every other day or even every two days. So for most of my adult-life (since I heard this …Read the Rest
I have been out to eat way too many times since Monkey was born. It’s bad. The lady at McDonnald’s knows my kids names. That’s not good at all.
