February is a pretty special month. Not only is it the month of Valentine’s Day, it’s also the month of my daughter’s birthday, and the anniversary of when I met my husband. Coincidentally, Ayla’s due-date fell on the actual day of our anniversary, which I thought was kind of neat. This year, I’ll have known Tony…

Minecraft Birthday Party Ideas
Every year I say I’m not going to go too crazy with birthday parties, but sometimes I just can’t seem to help myself. This year, Cole asked if he could have a Minecraft party for his 8th birthday. My initial thought was, “Alright!! This is going to be easy – he’ll have a few friends over to…
