Shenanigans

When I had Drew, I had no idea about babies. I knew even less about baby goods. I didn’t have a ton of friends that had babies to bounce ideas off, so I lived and died by what became the bible to me (Baby Bargains). If Baby Bargains told me that I should duck tape my kid to the kitchen […]

Some kids have imaginary friends. I’m sure there are times that it is perfectly innocent. But there are also times kids develop imaginary friends to mask their worries, their insecurities or be some sort of shield for some underlying pain. My son speaks a foreign language.

Today he bent my license plate and broke my license plate holder while trying to steam roll Gabby in order to be the first one in the house!!! Whether it’s watching a sporting event or playing a […]

I had a rare opportunity today to go to Drew’s basketball class without my partner in crime, a.k.a. Gabby. It was especially nice because it allowed for me to actually watch the class, cheer Drew on and take pictures. But I also came to a very interesting conclusion, not too far off of the evidence of conferences, that Drew isn’t […]

So much of those early weeks, months, years of your children’s lives are about milestones. First time they rolled over, first time they crawled, first time they walked, etc. And when parents get together it’s easy to get caught up in what your child has or has not done. Every parent knows of some instance they have been in where […]
