parenting

I've been forced into learning a lot of parenting skills lately. Today I walked outside to find this.

It was a conversation I had put off for years, but being that April is Autism Awareness Month I wanted to share my story with Autism Spectrum Disorder and how I told my son he has Autism.

Most kids have these things and they're supposed to reduce stress and help with concentration, but do they work?

From the moment my children were born I have wanted to protect them from the evils of this world. So how and when do you tell them about 9/11?

Parenting is tough. It's full of choices that affect the most precious people in our lives. I learned a big lesson with my daughter recently. Maybe you can learn from my mistake!

Oh, parents, don't we know it.  Pants that fit our 6-year-olds last week are high waters this week because we fed them some carrots and blueberries. Kids grow like weeds, and that can mean we're buying new clothes every time we turn around, which gets expensive in a hurry. Idaho's Largest Garage Sale will be a great place to shop and save some money this weekend.

There are parenting wins and parenting fails. I had one of each this weekend.

Life is full of awesome new experiences.  Just ask this kid.

My oldest daughter came to me to the other day and said, “Dad, I sure do miss getting that allowance thing.”

I got home yesterday and did the most “dad-thing” I've ever done.
