You know, I resisted the temptation for the last week to write this post, but I don’t think I can do it any longer.

A little more than a week ago Maggie and I finally decided it was time to wean.

Her reduction in feedings allowed me to look forward to a bit more freedom concerning […]

I gotta tell ya, having pets is not easy. Obviously, there’s the expense of food and regular trips to the vet.

I know, I have written about this topic previously; I feel it is so important it bears repetition. Hit the play button and listen before reading further.

I am not nor have I ever been a fast food junkie. Jason, however, has flirted with being one. Thankfully he always regains clarity after a bad meal. When I was younger, I would eat McDonald’s as a treat maybe one or two times a year. I was very monogamous to my ‘burger […]

Erin made up this song (or plagiarized it from someone) for when Maggie stands up. Of course, Maggie loves to dance, so when Mama starts singing, this is the reaction.[MEDIA=6]
