Over Memorial Day weekend the family and I went on our first “Family of Four” road trip. I tried to be as prepared as possible and packed everything ahead of time with each child’s necessities in their own little suitcase so that there wouldn’t be a lot of fishing around for items.

I did a little googling and didn’t find many sources for “baby ducks” around the area at the time, so I decided to post a Craigslist ad.

Gwynnie’s 2nd Ducky Birthday Bash was an absolute blast and we all had a wonderful time! There were a few surprises too that just about sent the birthday girl over-the-moon! Looks like a few duckies have been waddling around these parts! The food and treat table. Everything was home-made with love! Ducky Oreos Strawberry and […]
