Welcome to our blog

Even though I am starting 4 years into the process, I am going to document my experience with raising a family. After finding out that you can print your blog into a book, I decided this would be one of the best gifts I could give to my children and to myself. The moments are precious but life is moving at such a fast pace that I just don't have time to appreciate it all. I want my kiddos to know how much they are loved even when life is crazy...Enjoy.

Raising sensitive males...


 I love raising boys, with all their rough and tumble and dirty ways... but I also love their sensitive sides.  Being daddy and baby cheetahs, planting baby sisters in the back field, giving me baby dolls to mother.  Here they have my belly casts on pretending to be a mommy.  I love it.  They are going to be good fathers one day, if they so choose,  cuz they have sensitive, vulnerable sides that make dad's rock.
I get tired of all the homophobia out there turns little boys right to explore into a political discussion.  We put men into these little boxes that make them have to choose to be tough or gay... Its ridiculous. No wonder so many men run from family life and their feelings and have to start programs like the Mankind Project to get in touch with being human again.  I've talked to too many men who ruined their family-life and marriages because they didn't know "how" to be sensitive to their family members needs because they were taught to shut down their own needs because of societal pressures.

Men don't need to be tough, Don't need to fix everything and men certainly have the right to explore fashion.

And why not be a turtle while your at it...


Dress like a fairy
