My two oldest boys recently went to morning day camp called That’s Gross Camp, and was part of the Discovery Camp program at Maymont Park in Richmond. With a name like that, I was expecting half the boys in the city to show up. Much to the surprise of my boys, all the counselors were [...]

In fact, there are quite a few on this list that are now common for my 20-month old that didn’t even exist for his older brothers. Amazing. Streaming Netflix movies Flat panel [...]

Last night was our first real school experience (or at least mine) with Matthew starting Kindergarten this year. Sure we’ve been at programs in preschool before, and his riding the bus for the first time was a big deal, but Back to School Night sealed the deal for me. It felt like Homecoming weekend from [...]

6 hours and 37 minutes. That was how long my GPS was telling me our trip would take, but I knew it would more likely be 8 or 9 hours after stops and traffic and who knows what else. We were heading home last week, at the tail end of a weekend visit to my [...]
