Pie Five Pizza

Peyton is in the office with me this week and I'm trying to make it as fun as possible. One of my favorite places to go for lunch is Pie Five Pizza. We've only had one in Woodbury for a few months so it's relatively new for us. Peyton rarely gets to go out to lunch so today I decided to make it special by letting her go to Pie Five Pizza. Pie Five Pizza is like the Chipotle for pizza. You get to walk through a line and choose your crust, sauce, toppings and meats. Then they bake it right there. ...

Alice Through the Looking Glass

Peyton and I love going to the movies. When Peyton heard there was going to be a new Alice movie she wouldn't stop begging me to take her to Alice Through the Looking Glass . I had my reservations.

But I watched the trailers for Alice Through the Looking Glass and was positive there was no Jabberwocky. After talking with Peyton I found out what the real draw was for her, the baby ...

Boys Will Be Boys is Not an Excuse

Typically I like to keep our blog upbeat. I like to celebrate the positives. But I just have to get this off my chest. Peyton has been having an issue with a 1st grader for some time now.

This week he PUNCHED Peyton, a kindergartner, in the chest and the school did NOTHING. They didn't even tell me about it. Peyton was the one to inform me of ...
