The Juppy Baby Walker Review and Giveaway!

Sully is a reluctant walker. It’s not that he can’t do it, it’s that he just really doesn’t see the need. Why walk when you can crawl at 100mph more easily? Plus, he’s low to the ground. Less wind-resistence! See, my child is truly efficient. He’s not behind the mark for walking. The average (according [...]

A boy and his dog.

Jones and I have a love/hate relationship. More like, he adores me, and I sometimes hate him. It hasn’t always been this way, and it makes me sad to know that sometimes I am so annoyed by him, I’m about two seconds away from handing him to the nearest person on the street. And, Jones? [...]

Sully’s Big Day

My inability to relax.

Taylor is always saying to me, “Sal, just relax.” And I’m always laughing at him and saying, “Are you freakin’ kidding me?! Relax?! I have this, and this, and this to do, and Sully is crying, and the dishes are dirty and my socks are bunched up and, oh my goodness, I think I just [...]

A Series of Unfortunate Events.
