    Instead of writing a woefully unrelated and hypothetical tale filled with loss and anguish and making this about me, I am going to encourage you to visit to The March of Dimes, and donate whatever you can spare in the name of Maddie Spohr. If you have kids, go play with them right now! If you don’t,…

    I have type O negative blood. I really gave this little thought up until yesterday when my mother and I started talking about blood type. I told her I was O negative and she remembered something about the negative Rh factor. My eyes glazed over. Rh? Huh? Antigens who? Uncle what? So last night I…

    I thought it might be time for a video of my two boys. I hope you enjoy! P.S. I know it may seem like Murray is ready to scratch Em, but I assure you, that’s not the case. Murray is very gentle especially with Em.

    This recipe is nothing amazing, but it sure beats spending an arm and a leg on pre-made pizza dough from the store. Plus, you get to control what goes into it. And I love controlling what goes into my baked goods. (HFCS, I’m talking to you.) What you will need Food processor Saran wrap Pizza stone (optional)…

    It’s been a long couple of months for us health wise. Em has been sick on and off since December. Earaches, asthma and constipation have had Toby Joe and I at a loss for what to do next. It’s been a great big guessing game. We’re guessing more now than we were when he was…

    Jonathan sent me an interesting article from Adage about how a few vocal people can give an impression that something is a much bigger deal that it really is. (Remember the Motrin scandal?) From the article: “The data is a really compelling reminder that a lot of our target consumers are not the people who are…

    I am so worried about Murray. He continues to consume things he’s not supposed to. Last week, right after I wrote about his recent chewing fiasco, I came to discover he’d eaten the straw off Emory’s drinking cup. It was out of my site for about 15 minutes. And he’d never touched it before.  I…

    We went to the Bronx Zoo on Saturday. I can’t put into words how awesome of a day we had. It was probably one of the best days of my life.  Here are a few pictures from our visit. We rode the insect merry-go-round. Em was fine at first, but it started to freak him…

    I know it isn’t really apple season, but I’m from Pennsylvania. Plus, I can’t think of too many smells more awesome than baking apples. This recipe is a two-parter, but don’t let that scare you. It’s really simply and each step can be broken up. What you will need: 2 -3 Ramekins (or something similar)…

    Happy Friday, my friends! Ready to help out a father in need? I got an email. It read (edited slightly):  “My 5-month old son is cutting 2 teeth and of course goes through bouts of being very unhappy. I was wondering if you gave anything to your son while he was teething? We’re flying from…
