1000 Journals Project

  This book isn’t new, but it’s wonderful.  It found it’s way into my pile of books to review, and I moved it to te top.  A man sent 1000 journals into the world for us to work in, and waited for their return.  The book is the resulf of his leap-of-faith experiment and it’s [...]

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

My baby girl is 16 today.  It seems like just yesterday she was playing in the yard with the little girls two houses down, or singing ”Wheels on The Bus” for the video camera.  Where did princess costumes and baby dolls go?  Where’s my little darling in the angle ballet costume on stage for the first time [...]

Alec Baldwin on Parenting?

I have to admit, after hearing the voice mail Alec Baldwin left his daughter Ireland calling her a “thoughtless little pig,” he’s not an author I’d consider reading, either for a biography or a divorce/parenting book.  I’ve been reading reviews of his book, “A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce,” and I might [...]
