Rock Out

Unfortunately you have to go here. One of my favorite singles of all time, Delta 5 “Mind Your Own Business.”

Gross

A Cincinnati-area family got a smelly surprise when they opened a punching bag they purchased earlier this year.

Parenting in the 21st Century

Ethan has expressed distaste for being featured on Flickr and Youtube, so I’ve taken down his pictures and made them available only to family and friends. When I was a kid, the only fear was that mom would whip out the baby pictures in front of my crush du jour.
