This is my last post on FamilyEducation.com. I have mixed feelings about this, but I know, in my heart of hearts, that the time is right to move on to other projects. After all, if you've read most/any of the posts over the course of these many months, you know that one thing remains constant for me: gotta keep living/chasing the dream. And the dream is ever-changing. [more]

It figures that, on the heels of writing a blog about letting kids be kids, the parenting world is all in a rage about a nine-year-old who is acting anything but his age.

A year or so ago, my book “Go-to Guides for Guys: ABCs for Expectant Dads” was published (by a competing publisher to my current blogging “employer”).

Oh, dear (insert your favorite deity here) – not another post on the challenges of life balance. Please, don’t write yet another rambling diatribe about the difficulties that parents face to find time for work, family and fun (which isn’t to say that work and family can’t be fun, too). Whatever you do, Mr. Skadaddle, please, please, please don’t bore us with some sad story of how there aren’t enough hours in the day. Sorry. Can’t help it. [more]
