Concoctions!
The alternative title to this blog could be “There Better Be a Nobel Prize in the Future!” My kids are at the age now where they shower by themselves (we don’t have a bathtub).

TV Theme Song Thursday – #48
Recently, I came across a Watch Mojo list of the the Top 30 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. While I agreed with some of them, many I did not. So I decided to make my own list. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't go with the Top 30. There were too many … Continue reading TV Theme Song Thursday – #48
