Who needs to watch Top Chef when I have one in my own house? You can wipe the drool off your chin.

I can't believe I am 30 today. 3-0. Where has the time gone? I don't feel like I'm mature enought to be thirty, if that makes an...

I've been waiting and waiting for it to happen, and today it finally did. Adeline had an exploding poo. You might be thinking, "It...

Thank the lucky stars I was able to get Sofia a hair appointment at 9 a.m. this morning. I was really afraid that she was going to go out to...

Today has been one of the worst days in a long, long time. Here, let me show you: 6:30 a.m. Wake up to Adeline puking all over the bed. 8:3...

Can you guess who is who? Now that I'm working full-time, I really look forward to having the weekend off. Not that I do much. For exam...

We took a trip to the Zoo earlier in January. It was the middle of the week, the temperature was above freezing, and we knew it was now or n...

Sofia and I had a blast last night at my work holiday party. Ryan decided not to go because he was feeling a bit anit-social. It was a potl...

This is a little late posting, but we went to Leed's Farm again this year. It wasn't quite as fun as last year - probably because o...
