My 12-year-old daughter wanted to see The House Bunny. Let me back up a bit… I didn’t know she wanted to see it until she told me a group of friends saw the movie over the weekend. I immediately went in to “why was my child excluded mode?” I know, I know not my...

Today I volunteered in my son’s kindergarten art class. Currently I am in his class twice a week. It really is too much, but I cannot help myself as this is the first year I have been able to volunteer consistently. So, I am going for it. I believe I will be done by...
