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.

Penises, Periods and Pot Roast
Dinner time on Wednesday gave a whole new meaning to the term, “hump day”. There’s something about sitting around the dinner table with the girls that inspires the most interesting and sometimes hilarious conversations.
