Bronson is a really easy kid. He’s nice, funny, independent, and listens...
Is it me, or are Sweet 16 parties getting out of hand? When I turned 16, we’d get together for a sleepover, eat pizza, cake & ice cream, and maybe try and watch a rated R movie on HBO through the fuzzy lines. Recently Diddy’s son turned 16, he got a Maybach. Kids are having over […]
I was a good student. The only area I ever had trouble in was Handwriting. Yes, back in the old days we had HANDWRITING on our report cards. No matter how hard I tried, my cursive writing never cut it. I blamed it on the fact that my brain simply worked faster than my writing […]
People tease me because I keep my kids on a regular schedule. Blame the tight ship on my military father. Or maybe it’s just the anal part of me. I am a regimented person and I like order. Our nightly routine provides balance in our home and it gives me peace of mind because I […]

I love when I find new kid friendly places. Totes recently opened and it’s a great spot for everyone. They tout all fresh hand-pressed juices bottled daily.

Kids are constantly testing their boundaries. When they test their boundaries, that usually equates to testing our patience. Sometimes it ends in a lose/lose battle. Ultimately, we wanna keep our cool while our kids walk away learning a valuable lesson. The morning of a big soccer game Mo woke up and dumped a big bucket […]

It’s that time of year… The 1st Wednesday of February. No, not Groundhog Day, it’s National Signing Day. College athletes are able to sign a National Letter of Intent to play a sport at a college. Many of the nation’s best high school athletes have made VERBAL commits, but this is the day to seal […]
“If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them, and half as much money.” ~Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby got that one right. I’m not known to my kids as a parent who showers them with random gifts and candy. I’m ok with that. While kids LOVE getting […]
