So, I lost my host of 7 years. This meant that my sad old version 2 WordPress theme was virtually useless. But, as I’m never one to give up, I’m rebuilding a new version of L.A. Daddy. And I’m planning…
Welcome to the New L.A. Daddy!
Cheese Car, No Punch-backs

I love it when I hear my girls start out a conversation with, “Let’s pretend…” or “Pretend you’re…” It’s that imagination with no editor. Anything is possible. My girls put their fresh imaginations to use and have created a fun…
