One of the ways that we’re trying to help Knox live his best life (besides fixing his sleep) is to get him involved in Playball.  As it turns out, he…

On the 21st of March, Seth and I celebrated being married for 10 YEARS! Yip.  We made it to 10 years.  I’d be totes lying if I said that it’s…

Well hello there! Good to see you.  Are you as happy as I am that today is Friday?  If Friday had a face, I’d smooch it.  I’d smooch it hard.…

I have this chronic condition that’s really been a huge annoyance to my family over the years.  But it’s one of those things that you will only understand if you have…

Excuse me a moment, I have to go and feed our unicorn.  Be right back. Sorry, where was I?  Oh yes, I wanted to ask you something.  If you had…
