Drinking and Driving

I remember this as if it was just yesterday. :)
This is for all of you parents who have kids soon to be teens. From the time Jamie was old enough to drive, he was told that under no circumstances was he to drink and drive. If he did drink, he should feel comfortable phoning home […]

Orange Glazed Fruit with Anise Whipped Cream

Does anyone touch the barbecue other than your husband? If he loves to take over, hand him this recipe for dessert. Just making life a little easier for you! :)

Dad Needs to Bond Too

When a newborn enters a family, it can be difficult for Mom and Dad to feel like they’re both getting equal time and providing equal care for the baby.

Little Boys Love to Explore

Especially when Mom has headed off to the mall for the day and dad is in charge. Jamie decided to venture outside of the townhouse complex and go for a walk uptown. He was about three.

Complement Your Child Today

Over dinner this evening, pick out something that he/she did today and announce it at the table and then watch her face light up. We seldom think to do this and it is unfortunate. These little guys have tons of things to be proud of but if they aren’t told, how will they know? […]
