Here at b5media, we believe in building communities. This blog belongs to the Family & Relationships section of b5media. 2006 was a very big year for both b5media and our own group.
Several of us in the Family & Relationships channel have organized lists of our best posts of the year and I get the pleasure […]
What better way to ring in the middle of December than gathering up my best posts of the year? Hey, nobody that saw Christmas ornaments in the store before Halloween is allowed to complain that I am not waiting until January.
I have only been here a few months and am already amazed going back through […]
Most full time working parents try to spend more time with their kids on the weekend. What do you do when emergency projects come up? Find ways to include them.
This weekend the toilet broke. It was actually just a little reocurring leak that I got tired of fixing. So, I decided […]
Christmas is a religious holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus. It seems like there are two main things that get celebrated during Christmas. Jesus and Commercialism.

A few of my household responsibilities are taking out the trash and anything that involves fixing the computer and the vacuuming. If either of these chores need done during the day, the kids know that they should just wait until I get home and don’t even bother bugging mom about them.
My wife does almost […]

Good. That is a good start but not the only thing good parents need to do.
Despite working full time, you still need to make time for the mundane things. Pick […]
I got a laptop from work a while back. My kids think it is pretty cool and my daughter has even been asking for a toy laptop for Christmas.
This is a great thing for parents to remember. Something like that could be a great way to bond with my kids. We could […]
December is a rough month for working parents. Between colds and school holidays it feels like the kids are never at school. At work, the holidays are always hectic, too, with end of year and holiday activities.
And, of course at most places any sick days not used before the end of the year […]
Our computer chair at home is at least 5 years old. I really feel it now that I am working at home. It must be time to get something new.
If you are buying, I’ll take one of these Aeron desk chairs.
