I’m Just a Little Obsessed

I love everything about this book and I totally agree with where this woman's head is at. She’s written a book about what truly matters not only to her, but also her entire family.

There are Lies & There are “Sweet Little Lies”
I’ve come to believe that there are LIES and there are "sweet little lies". I never told my kids flat out LIES, but I did tell a few "sweet little lies". I started thinking about this yesterday when a student shared with me that her mom told her that whenever the ice cream truck was playing music, it meant they were out of ice cream for the day.
I'm sorry, but that's pure GENIUS!
