[True Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Dad]

admin2 months ago2 months ago03 mins

The other day, my kids and I headed to Home Depot to buy two items that, in most parts of the country, you’d never need to purchase at the same time. We bought a bag of rock salt for de-icing our driveway and a bag of charcoal for cooking on the grill. As we waited…

True Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Dad

admin9 years ago2 months ago03 mins

Most weekdays I eat breakfast with my kids. But during the week, I’m rushed at breakfast time.
