Navigating The Stormy Waters Of Fatherhood
Beware the Port o Potty This is kind of a fun story to reset. It’s a nice reminder as parents that there are some things that don’t seem like a big deal to us, but are major, traumatic issues for our kids. And sometimes those fears follow us into adulthood. It does involve being a…
With the removal of holiday lights, you quickly find how cold, wet, and gray the days are this time of year. We usually joke about the idea of moving someplace else during this time of year, but bemoan the idea of actually moving. So what if? What if we had a winter home? Where would…
