It always surprises me how Jacob manages to sleep in the car with his neck craned in the oddest angles. It makes me wonder if I was bitten by a radioactive owl while I was pregnant with him, and somehow he developed the ability to turn his neck nearly 360 degrees....

I am amazed at how long the Mario Brothers have managed to stay popular. I still remember when the very first game came out all those years ago, for like the first incarnation of Nintendo. My little brother got the system and the games for Christmas one year. The...

Jacob started back to school on August 27th, and he was definteyl far from excited this year. He begged me to skip the first day, tried to get me to convince the school that he has already graduated (from college, no less) so doesn’t need to go anymore, and...

I don’t think anyone needs to be reminding that it’s Back to School time at this point, I’m pretty sure we all know it! My son starts in about a week, and I’m stressing because the school hasn’t even sent out their letters yet telling us...
