As some of you know, I share a bathroom with Barb Marley (my 8-year-old daughter). We live in an older home, so the master bathroom is a hell of a lot smaller than the hall bathroom (which is a dual sink bathroom), so when we originally moved in, Barb and I decided to share a […]

I’m Scared That You’re Just Like Me
I love that you’re like me, but I’m scared that you’re just like me. I see your impulsiveness, just as I recognize my own. I love that when you have an idea, you must dive in, however, I worry that when you have an idea, you dive in without hypothesizing or with a plan in place. […]

Respecting My Child’s Boundaries
Respecting My Child’s Boundaries: When my daughter was a toddler, she was fond of giving big, sloppy kisses on your mouth- or your ear, cheek, foot… Really, the kid was a smooching machine and I loved every minute of it.

A Blow Dry After Delivery? Yeah NO.
You know, I really hate to say that the world still surprises me; however, being an avid Internet user, I’m sadly proven wrong … almost daily.
