A Cell Phone At How Old!?
I saw a post on Facebook the other day from a guy whose seven year old daughter has a cell phone. I think for most of us, that seems a little young. And the general consensus in the comments section of the post was exactly that. Lots of different opinions were represented! That brings up […]

I Gave Up
This spring, I talked a lot about how I was going to keep my grass looking nice and perfect all season long. I don’t know why, but for some reason once the hottest months of the summer arrive, I stop caring for my lawn. Maybe those first few blades of crabgrass are enough to frustrate […]

Escalation or Off-Ramp?
It has been a very dark time in our country’s history. Every time we turn on the news or scroll through social media, we are reading more stories of acts of violence against one another, many of those acts fueled by political differences.

I Knew The Day Would Come
Parenting has always been a stressful endeavor. There’s no handbook that outlines everything you’ll experience as a parent, so you just do your best.

Accountability
The other day, I posted on our Facebook page about how my daughter accepted responsibility for the first time in her 15 years on this earth. I wanted to explain more about this, and why this is such an important thing. My daughter had planned to fly to Florida with her best friend and her […]

Flying Cars Coming Soon?
You may recall back in 2023, it made news that a company was working on a flying car and had received FAA approval for testing. To me, it seemed like anything else…just a dream, but likely nothing we would ever see in our lifetime. Fast-forward two years, and we are now (potentially) on the brink […]

Live It Up!
We’re in the home stretch of summer already. I can’t tell you how many times I have made big plans in my head for all these summer things I wanted to do, assumed I had all the time in the world to do them, then to realize time has passed by quicker than I thought […]

Germs!
🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠 Anyone that knows me well, knows that I am an absolute germophobe! I didn’t always used to be that way. When I was a kid, I always touched everything in sight and had dirty hands pretty much constantly. I would only wash my hands before eating because my mom told me to. But as […]
