Higher!
Yeah, Marlo is still in those pajamas. Listen. I’m saving the earth by using less laundry detergent. Next question.
Forever West
What was supposed to have been a seven-hour drive to the northern side of Wyoming turned
Sister cousin wives
Marlo made fast friends with my cousin’s daughter Sheyna, and the Mormon/Southern jokes started flying when they grabbed each other’s hands. I was just happy nobody was giving me a hard time that I left Marlo in her pajamas all day long.
Potions
Yes, my eight-year-old watches TV and plays video games and I routinely feast on her brain for dinner. But she also likes to pretend she’s a wizard, and one afternoon last week she spent an hour putting together “potions” in the backyard.
