But she can also be a bit discouraging. How in the world did she ever manage to do all those things? I can remember days when it was a challenge to even get out of my bathrobe before my husband came […]

As a thirty-year-old dad of four little kids, I consider my trials insignificant when compared to the hardships of others I know.
