Picture it. It’s Christmas Eve. Your children have been asleep for a reasonable amount of time for you to step in and begin to finalize the Christmas magic. You put the presents under the tree.

Shark Energy
I texted my brother the morning I started writing this blog because I wanted to show him my new tattoo.

A Look Inside My Brain
I started this blog with no real plan for how it would proceed. I didn’t even have any confidence it would form into enough content to be worthy of sharing.

Sometimes the Only Thing to Do Is Yell, “F*ck!”
I imagine if you saw the title of my blog, you may have expected to see a curse word or two somewhere throughout this blog. I apologize for the lack of warning on the title, but here’s a warning that I am absolutely going to spell out the word throughout this blog at some points.Continue reading “Sometimes the Only Thing to Do Is Yell, “F*ck!””
Parenting Phrases
I have been thinking about the best way to organize this blog for a while now. I’ve written a few blogs related to parenting, but I think this will likely be my favorite.
