I’ve mentioned a couple times that I would share my philosophy about playing with and spending time with my kids, and I promise to do that in this post. But first, I want to start with a disclaimer.
When I shared my “Day in the Life of…” post, I absolutely was not holding my schedule up [...]

In the comments of my “How I Don’t Do It All” post, Amanda mentioned that she’d been thinking about asking me to do an “A Day in the Life of…” type post. I’ve done one before, but I’d been thinking about doing another one anyway, so I figured I’d go ahead and do it before [...]
