I have a new website! I’m so excited to have it done enough to put live. You can see it here: Amy & Kids Co Family Child Care. I’m hoping that local parents searching the Web for child care will find it, and that it’ll eventually be a valuable resource…
Well, we’re back from the vet – what an adventure! The vet wasn’t scheduled to come in today but he came in to see Marshmallow anyway. Princess and I planned to be early since he was being so nice and coming in for us, but you know how these things…
