In the past two weeks, I've almost been injured seriously twice - one time with the baby in my arms. In all honesty, both instances were partially my fault. I need to pay better attention to where I am going. Our living room has morphed into "The Toddler Zone." The floor is only visible after … Continue reading Dad Life – The Toddler Zone!
Storytime With Melvin
I'm not sure there is anyone my age that didn't grow up with Mel Brooks' movies. I was first introduced to him with his film History of the World Part 1. Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, To Be or Not To Be, and so many others soon followed. While some of his films … Continue reading Storytime With Melvin

My Top Three Surprised Me

The Importance of a Picture

The first issue I had was not being able to remember my Amazon password! I … Continue reading I’ve Been Yelling At Her For Days
Spaghetti? I Was Just Dreaming About That …
Today is National Spaghetti Day here in the United States. I didn't know that until a friend of mine posted it on Facebook earlier today. I also didn't know it was National Trivia Day in the United States. The same friend posted that, too. So before I tell my story ... how about a tidbit … Continue reading Spaghetti?

New Year’s Prayer
Last night we were all in bed by 10 O'clock. AJ started stirring about 4am. I walked to his bassinet, picked him up and brought him back to bed with me. I just held him in my arms and looked at him. I began to reflect and then I began to pray. I don't post … Continue reading New Year’s Prayer
2021 – What a Year!
At midnight tonight, we'll start a brand new year - 2022. Some have compared a new year to a book. The book with 365 blank pages - one for each day - and said that the book is ours to write. There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year!
No More “Bloobies”
When my oldest son was growing up, he called the vacuum a "latchoom." Both of my oldest sons called pizza "Pee-cuh." Naturally, as they got older, they began to call those (and other) things by the correct word. When that happened, it always left me sad. That same thing happened today. Every since she started … Continue reading No More “Bloobies”
