I’m the worst person to buy for. I buy few clothes for myself as my tastes and specifications are very limited. I can search racks and racks at a clothing store and find only one or maybe two items that I can tolerate. I don’t play video games. I don’t listen to music on...

I’m done. I’m over stinkbugs. I could deal with the little critters if it was a once-every-seven-years-cicada sighting. But, no. It would appear that stinkbugs are here to stay. Sightings of stinkbugs in the following places… crawling towards the fridge under the microwave on the inside and outside of the screen door…my tween screamed...

In our house the kitchen is the hub of all family activities. It is not huge. It certainly has architectural issues. For instance I cannot open the fridge door all the way. But, it is our meeting spot for homework. Gathering place for dinner. An repository of broken items. If Coach Dad has superglue…Coach...
