As a parent, I function on 45% instinct, 25% experience, 20% advice, and about 10% flying by the seat of my pants. I am not an expert by any stretch and my kids are only 4 and 6 years old. I’m still in the newlywed phase of parenting! Please understand…

A few months ago, I started thinking about how talented some people are. It’s crazy the ability that people must have to create things. Sometimes literally out of nothing. I have always been intrigued by artisans and how they learned and mastered their craft. I hear a lot of chatter…

Then they’ve voted and we announced the Northshore’s best king cake. This year, however, we’re flipping the script and letting YOU tell us who makes the best…
I joined a gym a couple of years ago and was going almost every day to run on the treadmill, lift weights, bike, and do whatever machines I could figure out without making an ass of myself. It wasn’t long before “Regularly” turned into “periodically” and my “workout routine” turned…
There are only so many years for you to plan the silly, cutsie birthday parties before your kids start having opinions and wanting input. I discovered this about two years ago when my big boys turned 3 and 4. They wanted to have a Train, Superhero, gymnastics party and I…
