My husband and I have a great marriage. We enjoy each other, we enjoy our kids, we have fun, and we love a lot. However, we aren’t immune to arguments and fights. Sometimes they are over something worthwhile, like the time my husband had my car detailed for me (love him) and then put the […] More
Dear Lady Without a Baby: There are so many things the rest of us – with kids – want to say to you, but for now we’ll settle for telling you that while you may think we are annoying, the feeling is very, very mutual. Just because we have a little spit up on our […] More
Snow days can be a parent’s best friend or their worst nightmare. When the children are entertained you can enjoy a day of blissful family togetherness. When the children are bored and argumentative you will not see peace and will be wishing that school had never closed even if it meant you had to drive them […] More
Just because your kids are small doesn’t mean you get to postpone teaching them good values. It’s a necessary task to teach your young children to say please and thank you, to say excuse me and to be polite. Good manners are good to have, and the earlier a child learns them, the better.

Having kids is the most fun my husband and I have ever had. It’s also the most stressful, most exhausting, and most frustrating thing we’ve ever done.

As your baby grows from a sweet little newborn to a mobile, crawling baby to a walking, curious baby you will need to childproof your home to keep them safe. There are many things in a home that are dangerous to a baby. When you begin to childproof your home it can seem like an overwhelming […] More
Bullying is something we’ve all heard about. It’s in the news all the time. Gay men are having hate words keyed into their cars and their windows smashed. Children are being called stupid, fat, and ugly and then going home and killing themselves. Bullying is not a joke. It’s an epidemic that we have to […] More
As a parent, you know that you are a big part of the reason your children will grow up the way that they grow up. Some kids are shy, some are outgoing, and some are kind. Others are mean, some are awful, and others are so bad that no one wants to spend any time […] More
Reading is an important skill and the more you do it the better you get which is why it is so important to encourage your child to enjoy reading. As they read more, they will read better and that will help them to improve their grades in all areas. If they read well and enjoy […] More
It is difficult when you are parenting a teenager, both for you and for them. The years when your child becomes a teenager are challenging because they almost become a different person. Truly, they are becoming their own person. They want to be heard and seen and respected as such. Unfortunately they do not always […] More
