This year marks the second Christmas for my girls since their Dad and I separated.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want
The arrival of our annual visitor over the weekend had the kids scrambling to make lists for Tony to bring back to Santa (even the 11 year old). The 11 year old has only three things on his list.

Booting The Boots!

I worry a lot about how I am raising my kids, which is ok, because it is pretty much the most important thing I got going on in my life. Besides corn nuts and Diet Coke naturally. Anyway, here are 20 unique and not so unique little and big things that I adore about my two boys: Hudson and … [Read more...]
Bursting the Bubble
So - tomorrow - I'm going to meet a guy about a thing. We'll meet in a parking lot. He'll show me what he's got and if I like what I see, I'll hand over the cash.Does it sound like an illicit trade that may have happened in high school?
