Life has this hilarious way of surprising you with things you didn’t expect and didn’t think you could handle in a million years; like twins!

Ah, the terrible twos. In our house, we simply refer to this age as the year in which we are really going to spend more time traveling – without the kids (like we can leave them for long periods of time without missing their behavior like crazy). The terrible twos are a stage in which […] More
Being a helicopter parent is something that most of us don’t want to think we are. A helicopter parent is exactly what it sounds like; it is a parent that hovers too closely for comfort. A helicopter parent is a parent that refuses to give their child the space they need to experience a normal […] More
Dads are a really special part of a child’s life. Dads have a special way of parenting that moms – try as they might – just can’t replicate (and moms, before you become offended let me clarify that there are certain things dads just can’t do that moms do, so no hard feelings, okay?). Dads […] More
