Today's title is brought to you courtesy of Anjali and as a Special!Bonus! it comes Preposition Free (Dude - she's only 19 months old, cut her some grammatical slack, yo.) Yes. Oh yes, I knew this was coming. I knew it..... yet still... my heart squished a little when I had to tell her, "Oh, sweetie...

I suspect Dr. Sears has never written about this particular hazard of co-sleeping: At times, your husband will lose his grip on reality and cave irrevocably to your child's demands. When this happens, you will find yourself sleeping with a big frocking fish tucked in under the covers between you and...

A few housekeeping notes: Commenting Policy - I am trying really hard to reply to comments more consistently.

Guess why? Jill: Why? Kelli: GUES...

I argue, if a person stays static in his/her views for an entire lifetime, then surely, that person has not grown much. No? Therefore, fol...

Most certainly, those folks are not firing on all cylinders. Seriously. That show gives me the chills. And not in a good way. Interestingly, after thinking last week that I would not want to write for a long, long time, I find myself wanting to write more than ever now. Putting a post out here gives...
