I’d like to think that I am a pretty even tempered person, but something has been amiss lately. Maybe you could blame my outbursts on my raging hormones. Or maybe you could say that any patience I have is being depleted by my children. Whatever the case may be, my husband often returns home from [...]

ASK A DAD
Dear Ask a Dad,
My daughter is having a very difficult time saying she is sorry. Case in point, this last week she hit me. While her father and I were asking her to say sorry she pretended she had a cough. I’m not kidding, she is two and actually pretended to cough to [...]

I have a scar on my left knee. It is not as noticeable as it used to be, but it is still there.

Kacey: Mom to Emi, lover of good design and original style, educator to tomorrow's world leaders, rejected the first gift that Francesca ever gave her at age 5.
Francesca: Mom to Giancarlo and Lucia, lover of good food, red wine, and all that is celebrity news, still envious of Kacey's Swatch watch collection from junior high.
Come live in our world.
