Note to all friends currently house-hunting with wee ones: Buy a house with sliding doors to the back yard, no stairs to worry over, and a family room and kitchen that overlook it all. Trust me. You will need nothing more.
That little crack in the door letting the breeze in... I love it so.
That go-gurt, cantaloupe, string cheesed finger-print lathered glass. Yup, I love it too.
