I love that Drew is a boy’s boy. I love that he has passions…obsessions for sports. I love that he is who he is. But there are times that I’m so glad I have a daughter too. Gabby and I speak an unspoken common language. I get her and her interests in a way that I absolutely don’t with Drew. […]

It’s not like I’m the first person to ever throw a party. It’s even less likely that I’m the first person to throw a birthday party at their house. But I may win the most crazy one while doing so. I’ve already been baking for weeks. The requirement being that everything must be “Gabby friendly.” Fortunately in the world of […]

Houston we have a problem! There is no doubt that Drew is a boy’s boy. He has no interests that are even slightly unisex.

I am just as guilty as anyone. I criticized her…physique. Jessica Simpson became known for her sultry beauty. Once glamorized as Daisy in the Dukes of Hazard (most known […]

They go grocery shopping, take their kids to the park, and […]

I’m not going to apologize for my desire to buy trash magazines and catch up on celebrity gossip. I realize it’s not the most intellectually stimulating reading material. I also realize that it’s not like I’m busy working on my PhD and I’m normally a more intellectual person. I’m just gonna say, it’s what I like so take it or […]

We have boy overload in our house. I have not been quiet about the obsession with baseball here. Well, fortunately for everyone, we have nicely transitioned to football. It’s sports city here about 90% of the time with a few super heroes thrown in and the occasionally fixer up tool situation. One thing that is definitely lacking is girly time. […]

I recently starting thinking about what it takes to raise a well-adjusted girl, on the heels of celebrating Gabby’s new found love for food. Boys have their challenges, don’t get me wrong, but everyone knows that raising girls comes with an emotional hormonal roller coaster where mothers frequently can’t do anything right. I was reading an article this morning… http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/18/us-heavy-teens-idUSTRE76H15320110718 […]

We have recently added to our family. With my job ending, I’m losing some perks of my job including my company car. As Adam and I planned how our family is going to weather this change, we started discussing what vehicle should replace my current one. A couple of months ago I got rear-ended and my rental car was a […]
