We dreamed of our baby for years before he came into our life. During that time, I read so many blogs and articles and lists and Facebook posts about the best way to raise a baby. I had my...
I just put him in bed for the night. I can't help but think of you, as I lay down "Our Son".

Ah yes. Tis summer. It's hot. It's muggy. It's wet. It's Ohio. In a nutshell, it's unpredictable.
My kids are out of school and also out of organized activities (because we are taking a vacation from commitments), and my plan is...
Summer is officially here now and there's no better way to spend it than with your kids. Try any (or all) of these family friendly events and let the good times roll and make those magic summer memories!

You’ve been through a...
A Father’s Day tribute to my hubby and all of the other daddies in the “Two and Under Club.”
To the daddy who was a calming and reassuring presence for your wife when Baby #1 was on the way, here’s...
