Sherman will be great for the baby to roll around on the floor with and still perfect when the child is 5 or so to snuggle with in bed. It's a good size plush. About as large a big ...

Mistresses is Back!

Mistresses is back on ABC! The season premiere was two hours long! That sure was an unexpected treat. I wasn't sure how they were going to handle Savi (Alyssa Milano) leaving the show. Season 2 was largely about her character, for personal reasons she chose to leave the show. The location for Mistresses had moved. And as a mother I understand why she left, she was not going to relocate her family. When she took the job it was in one location and then they decided to move it. I really wish they ...
