Successful [FREE] Saturday

The best part about creating a fun family day for young children is they are the CHEAPEST dates! You can basically make ANYTHING fun as long as you yourself are FUN! Sam and I decided today was entirely too beautiful to waste away inside (even though we too are IN LOVE with our air conditioner)!…

Madison Public Library — Pinney Branch

Yesterday we went to The Madison Public Library (Pinney Branch) on Madison’s east side. We come here often to switch out our library books/movies/CDs.
