Editor’s Note: The children’s consignment sale schedule has been revised. For the updated version, please go here.

My dental drama is finally over. Or at least my insurance is maxed out so that possible root canal will just have to wait.
For those who need a refresher, I went to the dentist after having Hadley (my firstborn) and discovered my Pukefest-for-a-Pregnancy had produced approximately 500 cavities. We started Operation Rotfest Repair but then [...]
