On Monday we took the family to Zoolightful at the Zoo. They walked through a winter wonderland, drank hot cocoa, sled down ice slides and saw Santa Claus. It was wonderful. Then Thursday my back started hurting, and I thought I had a bladder infection. Nope, kidney stones. I would not wish this on my enemy. This weekend we celebrated Hazel’s third birthday. Stay Caffeinated.

Oh no on the kidney stones! My husband gets them and they seem absolutely awful. Thankfully they don’t happen too often. I’m glad you were able to enjoy the Zoolights prior to the kidney stones though. I hope you’re having a much better week!

Good morning! Sorry I linked twice, but I’d messed up my link’s title. 🙄. It’s NOT Viking Week on blog. That was a while ago. It’s just a regular week, although I didn’t have a Fantasy Genre review on Monday.
