If you share a chocolate chip cookie with one of your children, is there a way to be sure they get the part with all the fat grams? Just wondered.

When your husband takes one child to the airport with him and leaves the others home, upset and jealous, here’s what you do:
Make them a baseball card using your expensive and professional graphic design software. See?

The bad thing? It’s only May. What will I do the rest of the year when they’re bored?

As a teenager and college student, one of my favorite Bible passages was Psalm 37:4-5:
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

My kids love waffles. I like to make the homemade ones in my waffle maker. My husband likes those, but still likes the frozen/toaster kind, too. So, we still buy them. My boys will eat either kind, but they’re messy.
