My son doesn't want to watch the Cubs with me

Like most Chicago Cubs fans, I’ve loved them since about the time I was born. What people don’t know, that aren’t raised Cubs fans, is that it’s really more of a cult.

Same sex marriage explained by kids on Jimmy Kimmel

There’s so much debate out there about same sex marriage and it seems as though adults have a much harder time with it than children.

My kid will never go pro. He's too old.

My son wants to try baseball. He played two years ago and thought it was really boring, but is convinced he’ll like it now. Of course he tells me as the season is winding down, however, I’m the type of parent that just needs a little nugget of interest from a kid and I go... Read more »

Hedgedogs - try not to laugh

Did you know there’s a new trend in dog grooming? People are grooming their pets to look like their hedges. Since they don’t know how funny they look, this wouldn’t be considered abusive, right? Look at these and I dare you not to laugh

National Donut Day!

Full disclosure, I’m not a huge fan of donuts. Mainly because of nutritional content, absolutely not because of taste. However, just like Slurpees, when there’s a special, we jump on that band wagon! Here’s where you can find the deals: Dunkin’ Donuts – Free donut with a purchase of a drink. Oh, come on Dunkin’,... Read more »

20 years of marriage is...

Do you remember the “Love Is” comics? They were the ones that you cut out of the paper when they mentioned something that struck a chord when comparing it to your own relationship. What ever happened to those? Today I’ve been married to my husband for 20 years. TWENTY years. I’m not quite sure how... Read more »

Baltimore saddens us all

Over Spring Break this past March, I took my kids to Baltimore. It was the first time for all of us. I’m sure you don’t think of Baltimore as a hot vacation destination, but it was one of our many stops on a long college exploration expedition. We stayed on the water and in the... Read more »
