There is a movement afoot. “….practical advice about gentle, hands-on parenting.”  That’s what Melissa Garrett calls her new Root and Sprout website. The site is not up yet, but the philosophy is already taking place. I have been tasked with the honor of introducing this upcoming website to the the Dad bloggers and Dads to be [...]

This morning at 6:30 am our girls hopped into bed with us to wake us for the day. Every morning I get up and make them their favorite sugar free hot chocolate drink. As with every morning, the girls are chatty and want to talk about something, anything with us as we pry open our [...]

Actually, that was my Britney Spears shout out. (Hi Ms. Train Wreck!) I really didn’t do it again. What am I talking about? I, as a Father, made the mistake of mixing up my twins. I’ll wait while you shout your disappointments and disbelief at me. Done yet? Okay, I’ll continue. I picked up Reese [...]

You may have heard about the Maine school providing birth control to middle school children? Whether you agree or disagree, I really don’t want to get into a debate here. This is not the right forum. Besides, I think Christine over at the Bean Blog has summed it better than I could in her post [...]

Let me begin by saying, we are a gaseous family. At least on my side. Though my Wife can compete with the best of them. (Yes, we are that juvenile sometimes.) I mean, come on, I do call my kids the Farty Pants Twins for a reason. So, suffice it to say, that tonight at [...]

Is it just me or do you have the feeling lately that this country is going to hell in a hand basket? I can’t pick up a newspaper, or turn on the television, or read a political blog (left or right), where someone isn’t reporting on the latest scandal involving influence pedaling, corruption, the environment, [...]

One of my co-workers just passed this picture on to me. And of course, I will pass it on to you. I live in a house with hardwood floors. I have a love/hate relationship with these floors. I think they look nice, but they always look like they have dust on them. No matter how [...]

My kids are already opinionated and Kiera is already a fashionista, so this is probably the last year that we can dictate force upon our girls the halloween costumes they will wear. From the day we knew we were having twins we always said that we would Never dress them exactly the same. Our girls [...]

Ever since we got back from the beach, the girls are obsessed with trying to do a somersaults. They have come real close, but most of the time they fall off to the side before they make the full rotation. Photo note: during this day, we were asked several times why our girls dress like [...]
