During my nine seasons coaching high school gymnastics none of my gymnasts had found themselves with child. Thankfully. Nothing makes me more anxious than teenagers having children. With good reason. Last year my streak was ruined, one of my “guys” found out his girlfriend was going to have a baby. I finally saw the couple [...]
You and I are going to throw down. Telling me that if I were an animal I would be a cow, is not considered a compliment. Yes, I know I was feeding Charlotte but really? I mean really? Horses, lions, tigers, and cats all feed their babies the same way. Everyone knows it is way [...]
If you can tell me what this is. This is an example of an Aiden project…

3. Learned to speak in strange voices.
4. Ask to eat salt out of the shaker.
5. Have visited a “beer store” on their way [...]

I live in Maryland. Which is nice. It’s a nice state full of old buildings and lots of seafood. It is not considered New England. Nor do we speak like we are from Boston. Or New York. Or New Jersey. We are the mid-Atlantic region. Which means that if it snows you are supposed to [...]
