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 […]
What do you do when you have been cooped up in the house for most of the week and you get hammered with 6-10 inches of snow?
Snowball fight!
I’m taking on the kids tomorrow (technically later today I guess). They might only be 4, but there are two of them and I’m sure their mom […]
I’m quite the computer dungeon junkie now that I have been working from home for a few weeks. When I do crawl out of the dungeon in the middle of the day, the kids normally want to hang on to me for a little while.
Our daughter seems to start being more stuborn with my […]
Greg Page of the Wiggles has left the band and if you don’t know that you need to read more b5media blogs.
He decided to step down because of the orthostatic intolerance he is suffering from.
I originally didn’t plan on writing anything about this because the kids are not huge Wiggles fans. The kids enjoy […]
We started a once a week movie night with the kids a few weeks back. It helps us stay away from TV before they go to bed most of the week. We are also starting on transition into longer movies. Our daughter has no problem, but our son’s attention span doesn’t make […]

I always think it is strange when I see parents […]
We have started a tradition of using the time between dinner and bath to do a family activity together. Sometimes it is a game, sometimes it is a craft, sometimes it is doing a puppet play.
Now that Thanksgiving is finally past, we are getting in the mood for Christmas. Tonight we did a […]
I am having quite a bit of trouble keeping organized at work these days. I am bouncing between a couple different clients and a handful of different projects for each client. I’ve been doing a horrible job of keeping track of hours worked and then spend more time than I should need to on getting […]
Our holiday travelling group is increasing by one tomorrow. While visiting my wife’s family, we (and more importantly his parents) officially decided that we would bring my nephew home to spend the night.
Tomorrow, we are going to visit my family and my nephew’s parents are going to tackle the crazy Christmas rush. He is one […]
I realized this afternoon that I am not certain if I work on the Friday after Thanksgiving or not. The consulting company that I work for has the day off. But, if the client we are working for works, then we have to work. Nobody ever told me if they have the […]
