Eric and I went camping for the first time with our one-year-old son. It was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. (Camping with a child is a new adventure for us.) We went floating on an inner-tube in a lazy river, played with my sister’s…
I love chocolate. It’s hard to go a day without any. Sometimes I put chocolate chips in the fridge, so they’re nice and cold, and then eat them as a snack. However, I have never liked chocolate ice cream. Ever. Won’t touch the stuff. And I usually don’t care for chocolate…
