As our kids grow up, we as parents love to play the game of “she/he got this from me and that from her/his father.”  It’s almost like a badge we award ourself for passing on admirable traits to the next generation.  The flipside of this game is admitting when we passed on our less-than-desirable traits [...]

This month in the Happiness Challenge was an utter failure.  I don’t know what else to say about it.  The funny thing is that it should have been an easy month.  After all, it was all about Love!  How hard can it be to show the people around me that I love them?  Apparently it [...]

Despite the fact that I’ve been blogging for five years, I’m quickly realizing I have so much to learn!  And that is probably a huge understatement! I should probably begin by saying that the first three-ish years of blogging my purpose for writing was to keep family and friends updated on what was going on [...]

Sorry for the delay on announcing the winners of the Iron Man Armored Adventures Volume 2 dvd.  I’m currently sitting in the lobby of the Four Seasons in Houston at the Mom 2.0 Summit and am just now getting a chance to announce the winners.  I can’t wait to tell you all more about the [...]
