Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
So this video arrived in my inbox. Side note to all who are trying to send me email, since switching to the MAC and Outlook on said MAC, I have not mastered spam and junk mail control and so a lot of stuff is getting buried. Anyway, I spotted this video and being that we […]
I have many clients who are involved in family businesses or who are consultants for family businesses. One question that is raised often is how do you create harmony when dealing with so many different personalities? I would like to address this issue today for all families, not just those in family business. Let’s face […]
A couple of weeks ago Caity announced that she had ‘auditioned’ for the school talent show. “Oh, I said. “What did you do?” Apparently she danced. Apparently she did the coffee grind dance move for about 30 seconds and that was it. A worried teacher caught up to me the other day and in a […]

As Tara and I sat down to watch an episode of Dinosaur Train (her new thing is dinos), I realized that Tara is probably the first kid o’mine that I have spent a lot of time with all alone. Now that the other two are in school all day, Tara and I get to hang […]
I finally managed to watch the lovely documentary ‘Babies’ last night. I highly recommend it if you haven’t yet seen it. It is so much fun. Babies are fun.
