I haven't quite grasped the practice of video taping my kids. Mostly I leave that up to Justin, and his phone fills quickly with all sorts of random clips of each child. There are baseball moments, first cartwheels in gymnastics, first rides on a two...

Beau and I fell asleep together last night with tear stained, salty cheeks. Earlier in the evening, Justin and I had made a nice meal together. He roasted a tenderloin on the BBQ and I made fingerling potatoes and steamed green beans that had been trimmed...

My weeks with Beau in the morning are coming to a close. Pretty soon, he'll be starting at a school of his very own, a play-based preschool just up the road from us. His days will be somewhat short, but he's so incredibly excited to...

The birth of our third child raised a common question with us: Whether or not we would cloth diaper or stick with our trusty disposables. Both my husband and I are very eco-friendly minded and try to make many-if not all-of our consumer decisions based...
