Wicked

A few weeks ago DaddyZabba and I were able to go to San Francisco for the weekend.  It had been a very long time since we had had a date night, let alone some time away.  We had a great time. The highlight of the trip was going to see Wicked.  I had wanted to… Read More Wicked

Mommy & Me

For several months I had been trying to figure out something that LittleZabba and I could do together.  I looked into several classes, music class, art class, Gymboree class…they were all so expensive.  A woman that lives down the street from us teaches a Mommy & Me class, but again it was just so expensive. … Read More Mommy & Me

Plans

For the last several months BigZabba has been taking piano lessons.  She has enjoyed learning something new, but piano is not something that she loves (at least not at this point).  Getting her to practice has been a bit of a challenge.  After many conversations we gave her one month to show us that piano… Read More Plans
