I Thought That Face Looked Familiar

The Incident

It’s been awhile since I posted here. More on that in another post entitled ‘Summer Happened’. It’s been a nice hiatus but now it’s good to be back writing… It happened on a Monday. During P.E. The “Incident”. Up to now, in her brief 6 years on this planet, Maddie has cruised through life incident-free. [...]

Reflections On Time: Part II

I am amazed that anyone who calls themselves a PARENT has the time to read this blog right now. In fact, I can’t even believe I had a free moment to sit down and write it. And I am really astounded that any parent could publish a column, or a book, or do ANYTHING that [...]

Quotes I Made Up From Other Quotes

“To want an heir is human; having a daughter is divine.” based on “To err is human; to forgive, divine” by Alexander Pope

It’s Official – Spring Is Here!

Aaaaah, springtime! It’s finally here! And how do I know this, you might ask? How do I really know? Did a bluejay happily alight upon my shoulder, whistling a tune from Song of the South? Or perhaps Maddie being home for Spring Break this week is enough reason to give one pause? Maybe I can [...]

Just Another Successful Parenting Mission

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Unbeknownst to her, my sister has played an ENORMOUS part in the raising of our daughters. Even though my younger sibling lives a mere two states away, she is here, every day, almost every hour, in the parenting choices I make for Maddie. Or, in this case, the parenting choices I DON’T MAKE. Now I [...]

Of Books, Blogs, & Babies

Keeping up with all the new parenting blogs and books out there can be a full-time job in itself! Here are a few that I’ve found recently and enjoyed… blogs Cry It Out Pacing The Panic Room Backpacking Dad The Busy Dad Blog A Dad’s Life books What I Would Tell Her Equally Shared Parenting [...]

2010 in review

Happy 2011 everyone! As one of my New Year’s Resolutions I intend to write more on this blog. That’s the idea, anyways. We’ll see how it pans out. And hopefully a few golden nuggets will emerge. This all started as a way to practice writing, to hopefully improve, and to experiment with different themes and styles. [...]
