Is My Kid Normal?
Kids are weird. They do and say the strangest things and they all develop different skills at different times. It may leave you to wonder the question we have all asked ourselves, “is my kid normal?” When they are babies we are comparing our kids’ development to the baby of Becky down the street who…

It’s about that time of year again. The time where kids are crying and parents are rejoicing everywhere. You know what I’m talking about. Back to school time. Soon we will get to ship the kids off to school for most of the day and either get peace and quiet or save some money on…
