Before becoming a dad I worked with a non-profit organization doing PR, fundraising and social media. During that time I was fortunate enough to do some work with Conn Jackson. Conn is a TV presenter, radio host and one of the nicest, most positive people you’ll ever meet. I’m not just saying that because I’ll be on his radio show either, I swear.

What the Christmas tree means to a 3 year old

For many non secular reasons Christmas is a magical time to a 3 year old. Some of the houses in the neighborhood are decorated with bright lights outside. Ironically, more often than not it’s those houses without a 3 year old that do decorate outside. Our children are all 3 or younger and I’ve observed that the magical ‘decorate outside age’ is when the oldest is 5 and up. Continue reading What the Christmas tree means to a 3 year old

Checklist with a Tired Parent: Why is my Crawler Crying?

More Mojo was upset. At 11 months old he was crying, yelling and becoming the red faced, high pitched noise machine that makes people who don’t already have children take an oath of celibacy. When your crawler is in the thick of a tantrum it’s tempting to get frustrated. When that happened to us we did get frustrated, but also ran through our toddler Q & A checklist. Continue reading Checklist with a Tired Parent: Why is my Crawler Crying?

As a family we have two dogs. For five years I did social media and fundraising for an animal shelter. I’ve toured the dog training facility that trains most of the dogs that you see in airports.
