Children watch everything you do as parents. The good parts and the bad parts. I’ve done a good job cleaning up my language around my kids, eating my vegetables and tidying up around the house. And Ace has definitely picked up on those things. But he’s also caught me slip with a four-letter word on a […]

Tigers Baseball Game with the Family
Alt Title: How to Go to the Baseball Game with Little Kids and Not Completely Lose Your Mind I love baseball. As a kid, I would sit in the kitchen with my great grandfather and listen to the Tigers on the radio and Ernie Harwell calling all the home runs, “loooooong gooooone”. These days, it’s […]
