For offering decent shows for my preschooler and toddler that I may survive this afternoon. TV is truly my last resort and really only nitpicking thing I worry about but today I'm glad that my kids still see it as special and rewarding and I will not feel too bad about it. I did cook them a wholesome healthy dinner because of the time it bought me so that's a pretty good trade off.

baby #3 arrived in September 2014...cannot get ticker to work no matter what I try!
