The Day My 3yo Said A Homeless Man Looked Disgusting
I love my kid. She’s awesome. I love talking about stuff with her and seeing how she feels or what she thinks about it. It’s always interesting to hear her take on stuff. Recently, we were driving and came up to a stop light. There was a homeless man asking for money. My daughter […]

Am I packing for a family vacation or moving cross-country?
It’s not uncommon and certainly not wrong to look back on your days, pre-children, and remember them fondly.
