Making my kids hate me one post at a time.
*post contains affiliate links I am known far and wide for my professional parenting advice. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, I couldn’t keep a straight face even over the internet on that one.

My little one will be 3 in a couple of months and I’m feeling nostalgic as his babyhood slips away. I remember wondering if there was enough room in my heart to love another child as much as I loved the first one. Turns out, there was no need to worry — and this one from […]

My son, Meyer, is engaged.
