Tonight I was reading my favorite magazine and they had an article about the Georgia Guidestones? Have you heard about these things? Essentially some guy (we don’t even know his real name) representing an anonymous group of people wanted to build a monument in rural North East Georgia. What is the monument? It’s the ten commandments [...]

Okay, before you roll your eyes and dismiss this post, please here me out. This soap has changed my life and it could possibly change your life as well. Okay, that was just a little dramatic. Before I met Sara I was a bar soap kinda guy. It’s all I ever knew. Men don’t use them [...]

Titus has always been a Cheerios kinda kid. Initially we thought it was cute when he’d go to the pantry and bring us the box of Cheerios. It got less cute when he would grab the box and dump all the contents onto the floor. Step two was to roll aound in it experiencing a [...]

Last year Titus had a cupcake. He loved it. This year he got his very own “arf arf” cake. Titus usually isn’t super quick to try new foods. I started to feed Titus a piece and he wasn’t thrilled. I got him his own spoon and he started digging in. Between the dog cake and his [...]

I remember exactly what I was doing this time two years ago. Every year on my birthday my phone rings usually before I wake up. It’s always my mom. Whether I try to sleep a little longer and let her leave a message or wake up to get my birthday greeting, it always starts with the [...]
