Daily Snippets 8/02/18 Put on your big girl pants and smile…
Being an adult sucks sometimes! We aren’t allowed to cry and stamp our feet like toddlers do, and people make allowances for us. We are expected to cope with life and get on with things even when life isn’t going the way we want. This week, I’ve had to sit myself down and give myself […]

READ MOREBecause we love you! A little Valentines Day Giveaway
So, Christmas is over, January is half way through, and we have Valentines Day looming. I say that, because we in the Mad House of Cats & Babies aren’t really that romantic, and last year we pretty much forgot about it, and didn’t even get cards for each other. The husband is the mushy and […]
