My Wife Just Said… #131
“We need to develop a hand signal that says: it’s not you, I’m just on my period.” -Elizabeth Yes please! We can take hand jive classes if necessary! Oh and I feel your pain! In a “I totally don’t actually feel your pain because I’m a guy and don’t menstruate” kind of way. Though, […]
Watching Dreams Unfold
It’s rare that you get to witness a sun go supernova or a dream born in someone’s eyes. Well, today is your lucky day, my friend. Enjoy. This toddler loves Freddie Mercury. And I can’t blame him. Someone give that kid some instruments and voice lessons. ““ Follow us on Facebook. The best way to […]
“The Princess Dolls” : Convos With My 3 Year Old
Kids play pretend all the time. A lot of them continue to do so into adulthood. For instance, the concept of “privacy for parents” is one of the craziest mythological fantasies ever dreamt up.
