For me to sit here and list off all the things that have made my … Continue reading

Battlefield: Dinner
Oh yes, you know that dinner is a daily battle. I even wrote about the Sh*t I Say at the Dinner Table, a humorous way to look at the struggles we as parents go thru at mealtime.

There’s something about sitting around the dinner table with the girls that inspires the most interesting and sometimes hilarious conversations. And of course, this was the night that Brent had a dinner meeting. It started with Brigette telling me that she played with someone new at … Continue reading
