Adultitis in the NFL

The other day Jason was watching football, the Patriots vs. the Cardinals. It was on of those super snowy games that are a hoot to watch, especially when the fans throw up snowballs after a touchdown. I was paying attention out of the corner of my eye, while feeding Lucy, when Wes Welker scored a touchdown and proceeded to fall to the ground to make a snow angel. This caught my attention. Very fun! I was shocked to hear that seconds later the officials gave Welker a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Eventually he was also slapped with a $10,000 fine. Adultitis alert! …

Ugly Sweets

One of my favorite parts of this time of year is the sweets... Christmas cookies, fudge.. mmm! My very thoughtful sister-in-law brought over some of our favorites, knowing that I wasn't going to get any made this year (with Lucy's arrival and all). Some of my best childhood memories involve making and decorating cut-out cookies with my family. I'm sure the finished products weren't always the most appetizing (think LOTS of sprinkles), but my dad always seemed excited to eat them and proud that we worked so hard. (What a great dad!) We recently got a message from Terry and Terry Estness, a …

You, Happier.

With Christmas only five days away many of you may be feeling some extra pressure to get everything done in time. Are you overwhelmed? The reality is, you've got a lot going on right now. It's inevitable. Don't forget, kids are also feeling the pressure. Remember those childhood fears that maybe Santa would put your name on the naughty list? Did he really see everything? December was always filled with warnings from my parents that "Santa's watching!" It's important to gain some perspective on the holiday, as we run from store to store finishing up the list. While on our maternity leave, …

iPhone: The Official Tool of Fatherhood

Sometimes technology can be a real pain in the keister. Like when my computer froze up right at the beginning of a speaking program I had last week. Not cool. But the good side of technology makes me grateful that I'm living in these modern times, as opposed to the days of cavemen or pilgrims or hippies. In the last few weeks, my beloved iPhone has already proven to be my favorite tool of parenthood. On the day Lucy was born, I had a lot of quality time with her because Mom was busy passing out due to low blood pressure. While Kim was getting taken care of and working on regaining her …

Adultitis-Free Christmas Tree

This is the first year in quite some time that Jason and I have been able to put up a Christmas tree. Having the business grow slow and steady over the last eight years, we were able to manage cash flow a lot easier while working out of our home, which wasn't always easy on the life balance side of things. Looking back I think the experience forced us to manage the balance, in order to save our sanity. One year we even had our very own Charlie Brown tree. Now that we've been in our office/retail shop for over a year, the dust has finally settled and our home has turned into a place of refuge …
