We have lost the baby. We are in mourning and appreciate your prayers – for us and for all families that have gone or are going through this.
For those that knew about our difficulties this pregnancy and the baby’s diagnosis with fatal conditions, thank you for your love, support, tears and prayers. This has been an emotional […]
Safety, Security, and Gadgety all at once? Well, I found it this week, browsing the internet.
The Turner Deadbolt allows homeowners to lock their deadbolt from the outside, without a key. For families with kids (and all the bags, toys, and stuff that kids come with) getting out a key to lock the door can be […]
Blogging about clutter, gadgets, parenting tips seems petty today. Worrying about little things like messes, saving 5 minutes here, or $10 there have all become insignificant.
We got hit with some big, bad news that may mean some hard decisions very soon. And I need time and space to think and pray about them.
So you’ll forgive […]
Recently, I installed a clothes dryer vent for a new laundry location (leaving the electrical and plumbing to professionals). Friday night after work, I stopped at my local Lowe’s and I bought everything I might need:
Exterior Vent
90 elbow
10′ length of dryer ducting
5′ of dryer ducting
three duct clamps

tin snips

Pictured is my favorite. […]
It’s odd to me that there is a job category called customer service. As though providing quality service to the customer is not EVERYone’s job.
I bring this up because of my wife’s recent experience at the OB/GYN office. She has been met with contempt, impatience, and callous behavior from the nurse practicioner. Clearly, this woman […]

Personal clutter can be bad enough on your person, but take it home, dump it in a pile with the personal gear of your spouse and children, and what you have is an eight-foot disaster area.
That’s why I’m building a drop station for all of the stuff that comes and goes along with […]
Netflix not only reinvented movie rental and put a serious hurting on Blockbuster (which always tickles me), but created a new format for consuming media. Needless to say I’m a fan.
So, when I read about BookSwim I was really excited. One, because my wife and I are constantly buying and reading books and Two, we […]
We all dread the idea of travelling with children, probably due to years of exposure to flying with ‘Timmy’, the horrid child made famous by Bill Cosby.
There’s screaming, throwing things, gnashing of teeth and hair pulling - and that’s just the parents reactions to the monster child. Kids on airplanes are akin to rampaging […]
