    It’s cold and late and I’ve been in a sugar coma for the last few days of holiday celebrations. It’s that time of year when I evaluate the months passed and do some soul searching.

    I try to make sure everything is really fair. It’s only fair to be fair, right? To my kids (and probably yours) nothing is ever fair. In my kid’s minds, I always seem to give more of something to child and less to another.  Read more >
