time to make the bagels

March 31st, 2009

Facebook is a problem for me. I have no self control. And lots of friends who work next to ovens. All of this explains why at 8:30 PM my kids are bathed and in PJs (it takes time for the dough to rise between rests) but still running about the house with unbrushed teeth like […]

The Internets are alive with great things. Take this site, for instance, where you can make your own super hero. My alter ego, below: If you enjoyed that, here is a list of other sites your children will love and you will find amusing.
