The statement I heard from a lot of moms, “one day your child will wake up & decide that she wants to pee on the potty” always made me nervous. Well PP, who will be turning 3 in 3 months, had yet to express any interest in going peepee on the potty. So, I decided [...]
It was a snow day here in Exton, PA and while the 2 inches didn’t keep most people out of the office, it did keep kids home from school.
Here’s a picture of Jagger and B enjoying the snow (and enjoying having their dad drag them all over the place!) Even though dad was sweating from [...]

Today I’m compelled to write about this historical day – the Inauguration of America’s 44th president, Barack Obama.
