Love… And it all started with this kid. That’s my boy. My first-born. My son. A namesake. A compassionate. A comedian. A standard-holder. A promise keeper who [...]
Every Kids Needs Daddy – Happy Father's Day, Dads!
I believe men really get a raw deal in these days of such progressiveness. And maybe I shouldn’t use this video in a courtroom to defend my forthcoming argument on why I think kids need they daddies.

The Confessional – In Which I Nearly Lose My S H Double Hockey Sticks
A little explanation may be in order, cuz… SHLL (S H double hockey sticks) is not a word. My hubs and I came up with an alternate way of cursing. You know when people want to use “hell” as an expletive, but not actually be all expletive-y… they may say, “H E doublehockeysticks!” Well, my [...]

Just So You Know…
Someone that is not myself nominated me for an award! I. Know! Not that I have nominated myself before, but in the spirit of honesty… don’t think I’ve not thought of it.
