They've Got Their Hanes on Hollis Now

2008-08-12T19:33:30-07:00

My almost-four year old Hollis is awfully picky about his clothes and being comfortable. When he was 18 months old he started complaining about his clothes, although half the time we couldn't figure out the problem. As soon as he...

The Secret to Obtaining a Playstation 3, 1 Month Before Christmas

2008-07-27T18:48:11-07:00

When the Play Station 3 came out, people were lining up outside of stores and camping over night to get one. T and I are far too lay to do that. Plus, I'm not a big fan of camping unless...

Leapfrog TAG: A Must Have

2008-07-11T10:00:00-07:00

Did anyone else have kids who went through that period when they wouldn't sit still for reading a book? I hope I'm not the only one! When Hollis was between 1 and 2 1/2 it was really hard to get...

Personalize Your Fruit Roll-Ups

2008-06-06T07:52:10-07:00

Were You Raised by Wolves?

2008-05-06T05:49:00-07:00

The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting

2008-03-06T22:29:00-08:00

Before Hollis was born, I think I bought every pregnancy and baby book published in the free world. I could have started my own resource library. Most of them, frankly, sucked. Everyone has conflicting advice: Dr. Sears says you shouldn't...

Highlights High Five Magazine Gets a High Five From Me

2008-03-06T09:49:00-08:00

In elementary school, I always looked forward to the day we got our Highlights magazines. I eagerly read every story, tried out the crafts, and solved all the puzzles. I loved, loved, LOVED the hidden picture puzzles. Highlights day was...

The Liar's Diary

2008-02-29T08:47:00-08:00

As a blogger, I regularly put it all out there on the internet. Maybe I don't say quite as much as I would in a diary or journal, but I think that my readers know almost as much of me...
