This Is Parenting Excellence

After being beat down by her day job, cramming for interviews and preparing a case study for a much-desired (and deserved) promotion, and the nine (9!) college credits she is enduring this semester in an effort to walk with the Class of ’14, the Mrs. was voluntarily awake at 5:45 […]

The At-Home Dad Chronicles: The Self-Esteem Struggles Of A Bright Child

Her story mirrors ours. Things, you could say if you weren’t even the least bit superstitious [salt over shoulder, knocks on wood, fingers crossed], have been too easy.  Parenting life here has been paved with chocolate mousse; divine and delicious, smooth and sweet.
