Dear Dads (And Future Boyfriends), You Don’t Own Your Daughter’s Body

July 5, 2017 by Heather Jones 13 Comments

“Don’t mess with her,” reads the caption. In the picture, a delicate baby girl sleeps, with older brothers of varying ages surrounding her, putting on their toughest faces. Adorable, right? Well, it is, until you really ponder it. I know what you’re thinking. “It’s just a cute photo, do we … [Read more...]

Two At the Top

November 25, 2013 by Amanda 4 Comments

My Middle

October 30, 2012 by Amanda

Oh, this girl. She is growing into such a beautiful little person. And believe me, it took a lot of tantrums and gnashing of teeth to get to this point. She was such an angry toddler and it was a constant battle of wills to keep her from freaking out a dozen times a day. She is still a firecracker, … [Read more...]

The Father Lode

My dad runs. Every day, he runs. He doesn't really talk about it; he just does it. He wears microscopic booty shorts while doing so, but he's good enough that he totally rocks the look.My dad is a creature of habit. Every night he packs the same lunch: four kaiser buns the size of his head, two … [Read more...]

A Girl Thing and Boys Who Cook

June 20, 2008 by Jen

As those of you who read my blog know, my daughter is not a girlie-girl. She likes sports and skateboarding and spends most of her time trying to keep up with her nearly 9 year old brother and his friends. The truth is, I'm not an expert on girlie stuff either. I am a fool with make-up, I can't … [Read more...]
