I had my first fitting for DWTS today and I must admit I felt like a princess. It’s rare to get a gig where you can play dress up every show! I have been thinking about that message and what it sends to my daughters…
Rain has grown up seeing mommy in the make-up chair a LOT, much of which is spent with her on my lap. She is obsessed with make-up. I am ...

Hi All, Somewhere inside of us we know that eating fruits and veggie’s (combined with some exercise) keeps us lean and healthy. Let’s review why. Fruits & Veggies: -- are very low in fat, -- are low in calories, -- are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, eliminate wastes quickly and help reduce
cravings for sweets, -- keep your energy levels steady so you don't
become too hungry or too tired, -- carry off excess body acids, and ...
I’ve fallen off the wagon on multiple fronts. My blog is dying on the vine and I have about 10 of them written in my head but have yet to sit the hell down and write them out. So before I get into the stories of the last few months – one of which will be entirely dedicated to kids and babies BARFING – I thought I would start with how I’ve stopped taking my ...
Our Man On The Fence has chosen his topic, and is here to talk to us from a male perspective.
Here he is, our very own Guest Blogger, Man On The Fence.
Far too often, a man’s need for sex is not met. By this I mean, most married men, or men who are dating will willingly tell you, they’re not getting enough sex. Either their wife or girlfriend is too tired, has ...
Stroll on over to your local Krispy Kreme and you can custom design your multi-tiered donut pyramid. Krispy Kreme will dye the frosting to just about any color in the Crayola crayon box. I designed a cake to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in my son’s classroom. My glazed donuts were frosted green with white sprinkles, white with green sprinkles, green and white plain, and I threw in some orange frosted donuts for variety ...
Praise and encouragement are both positive things but knowing the difference may be the key to your success as a parent. If you had to choose between giving your child praise or encouragement you would most likely choose to encourage them. After all, wouldn’t you rather encourage your child to repeat the same, good action and do it again in the future as opposed to just drawing attention to the fact that a good ...

Sometimes getting a toddler to go down for their afternoon nap can be trying and exhausting. I’ve run into this recently with my 2 ½ year old son. He has been in a bed for about 5 months and over that 5 month period there are days when I don’t need to go to the gym because I’ve gone up and down our stairs 20 times to tell him to get back into ...
The slow economy has caused a big pinch for many families. The Steely Family is no different and since one of us is a stay-at-home dad (that’s yours truly) we are dependent on one income. Not to mention, that singular income is a self-employment arrangement that doesn’t provide the same security as a regular paycheck. If we don’t work, we don’t get paid.
So I’ve been scratching the ol’ noggin ...
I’ve been more confident and motivated this past week because of a sudden urge to renew my mind. I recognized that I was seeing the glass half empty and I needed a change of attitude to see it half full. I felt like I had lost my sense of optimism and I knew I needed to gain it back to turn my outlook on life around. I decided to take a few steps to ...

Although they are only a year old, our little Cubs are making their presence known and it is already painfully clear that there are far too many cooks in our kitchen! Dinner at our house, like dinner in most houses, is a chaotic time of the day… especially during the week. Here’s a typical scenario:
5:45 I get home from work
5:46 The babysitter runs for the train… like a bat out ...
With no manual or step-by-step instruction guide, it is no wonder that having a child is like being transported into the unknown. Life as you once knew it will never be the same again. Spur-of-the-moment activities are only possible if we can find a babysitter. Time, or lack of it, rapidly begins to govern the day, and you know you really are in the thick of things when you are out in a shop and ...
This morning on the Today show the representative for the family of actor Corey Haim, recently deceased from a drug overdose, said something like this, “We want to correct a miscommunication about Corey’s mother. She was living with him, not the other way around.”
I thought to myself, yet another case of someone who doesn’t want to be perceived as – God forbid – living with mother as an adult.
On the other end of ...
What is time exactly? It represents something different to everybody. Try and explain something so intangible as time to your children and you will see the real challenge.
My oldest daughter, who is almost 7, is learning to read the clock in 1st grade and she is pretty good at it. But when I tell her that we need to leave in 10 minutes, she doesn't seem to understand how long that is. She ...
My life is about to change again…not in a dramatically big way, but enough for a sensitive person like me to stress out. Starting next week I will officially have 2 children in two different schools and my third with Down Syndrome will be getting visits from a home teacher once a week. Figuring out how to get 2 to 3 kids ready on any given day to head out before 8 o’clock ...
The Golden RoadI love life. I love people, and nature, and food, and sex, and clothes, weird stuff and beautiful stuff. I love things in life that are off beat, not quite right, so bad it’s good. And, I love the things that fill my spaces: the kids, my painting, my family, TV. in bed, my memories. But here’s the thing, I’m lost. And yet..... I’m found. Divorce has this ...

So my oldest boy, Fletch, is almost three years old. My youngest, Riley is six months. Currently, my fantastic wife is out of town for a week. So this week I am Mr. Mommin it up. You don’t realize how much effort kids really are until you lose half your team!
You see - the problem is now I am outnumbered. It’s two on one right now– its coming full speed, and the two ...
My mother does it. So does my friend Susan. My sister does it, and most of my friends without kids, but not Elena, so you can’t generalize like that. Actually now that you mention it, Lizzie doesn’t do it either, so it’s not an annoying you-don’t-have-kids-and-you-do-this-thing, thing. It’s just a regular you-have-undiagnosed-borderline-personality-disorder thing, thing. Guys do it too, but not nearly as much.
What they do is this; follow me ...
I’ve known for a few years that this day would eventually come. It was inevitable, but that doesn’t mean I was really looking forward to it. It’s just a part of life and something that a lot of guys will have to deal with at some point in their life.
Saturday night I was at the mall with my girlfriend, The Phone Sex Operator (P.S.O.), and as we strolled through ...
