Go Read These Things
While I’m on the subject of kids: There are a couple of fantastic moms that are raising children older than mine that give me hope that things don’t have to be as scary as I think they will be when my kids hit middle school or high school. Linda from All & Sundry and The … Continue reading
Kids, Man
Let’s talk about kids for a minute. I have three of them and truly, they are three of the best humans I have ever met. I am totally biased by biology, I recognize this.
