Going to the movies with a baby can be a herculean task to say the least. One can only hope that he/she will stay asleep or be amused enough not to cry during the showing. Our four month old has not yet developed enough self control to stay occupied in...

Ten years ago or so I had a crush on a girl at a local coffee shop. No this wasn’t...
I have a problem with anyone wanting to ban a word. Any word really. Censorship is almost never a good thing. The use of language should be encouraged. If the word bossy was banned from our vocabulary another word would take it’s place. Are we going to ban all words...
Religion can be such a divisive thing. I am struggling with how (or even if) I want to introduce and integrate religion into my son’s early life.
Thanks for the rocky start. I hope this means you’ve got some seriously good stuff waiting for me later on in the year. Mr. Dude was so sick he missed his first two days of school (day-care) and it was so cold outside they closed down for what would have...
The world is a rough place. People who should be able to get along often don't get along at all. Bosses often look out for what is best for themselves and take advantage of their subordinates. Gun owners oppose any talk of reasonable regulations based off of the empty argument of "freedom." These things and countless more cause unnecessary pain and suffering to others.
I love to spend quality time with my little family. I'd rather spend a Friday night at the drive-in or a Saturday at the park with them than get any gift. Physical gifts are great, but in the long run they wear out. Memories can last forever when written down and shared. I've always preferred experiences over things. They make me happiest. Its important for families to get moving and spend quality time together, especially during the sunny summer time. We don't get easy winters in Chicago often so those sunny summer months are key. Made from nutritious and wholesome ingredients, KIND snacks are a perfect fit for our family and help to fuel our journeys.
It hit me for the first time as I sat there in the waiting room of a medical diagnostics location a few blocks from my work. Abigail was in the back room getting blood work done to confirm what we already knew. The signs were all there. We couldn't ignore what was happening and simply hope the best would prevail. It wasn't going to get better or fix itself if we just gave it more time.
...and found out we are officially expecting baby number two! We had an ultra sound at the doctor's office today and heard the baby's heartbeat.
Birth the second time around was a lot more interesting...
