Parents Need to Be a United Front When it Comes to Raising Kids

It took me 17 years but the longer I parent the more I have come to the conclusion that  Parents Need to Be a United Front When it Comes to Raising Kids. I'll admit it- I want to be the fun one. I want to be that parent I think my kids crave. Unfortunately when it comes to raising and disciplining my kids I am hungry for their approval, as my husband who could not be more my polar opposite, … [Read more...]

Watching my husband give our son a hug-makes me fall in love with him all over again

October 27, 2016 by Melissa Chapman 6 Comments

I'll be honest when my kids ask me to pinpoint the first time they crawled, the first word they said, or any of their firsts I struggle to try and remember and I have *been known* to fudge the truth about my memory of their early years because well to be blunt...IT SUCKED.

These are the facts, and I'm Okay with the facts or at least I THOUGHT I was okay until I read an article with the title Will you be there for your kids 40th birthday and for a SPLIT Second I began to sweat.

Sometimes men need a good frying pan whack in the head- no?!

October 2, 2012 by Melissa Chapman 4 Comments

I'm sitting behind this couple on the plane-they're probably in their early thirties; she's got a rather large baby bump and is wrestling with a very fidgety, unhappy toddler around two years old. The toddler is quite audibly, based on his frantic shrieking, highly agitated- and the mom looks utterly exhausted, stressed oh and did I mention she was pregnant. This toddler is quite literally sitting … [Read more...]
