Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I wrote a post on my BabyCenter blog about having the sex talk with your kids in response to a video by Cut.com. The video featured parents talking with their kids about the birds and the bees. The analogies used to describe sex are hilarious or awkward depending on how you look at it. One parent illustrates how…
It’s 12:30 in the afternoon and I’m getting out of the shower when all of a sudden I hear Bon Jovi blaring. My 18-month-old somehow set the alarm to go off in the kids’ bedroom. About 15 minutes later the alarm goes off in our bedroom. He somehow manages to set the clocks everyday day…

Nowadays I can’t get through cooking without Princess wanting to take over. So, I do what most parents probably won’t do. I let her have at it! Here’s a breakdown of the easy eggplant parmesan recipe that our family enjoyed. Here’s what you’ll need: One medium to large eggplant cut into 1/2 inch slices 1-2 cups panko breadcrumbs 4…
