A friend of my teen daughter was recently going through a stack of old photographs when she came across a picture of me. I was in a swimming pool, holding her (the friend) so that her head was above water. We were both smiling, mugging for the camera. The girl was three at the time.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 2000 Flushes. All opinions are 100% mine.
My kids and I had a super time watching this year’s SuperBowl, and not just because the game was exciting. You see, my blogging self got sponsored by a super toilet bowl cleaner, 2000 Flushes, to have a [...]
Friday evening while I was watching an Italian Serie A soccer match on my DVR, my satellite box bit the dust. The TV screen went black. All attempts to revive the box failed.

I wasn’t surprised – they love the holiday season, and enjoy celebrating with both single parents. I don’t demand their participation or take it for [...]
The other morning I went into my teen daughter’s room at 6am, a human alarm clock waking her up for school. Only this day was different, special.
“It’s snowing,” I said.
What a magical thing for a parent to say to their kid! A snow day meant sledding and snow angels, snowball fights and snow men. And [...]
