And by helper, I mean she found a drawer she liked and took everything out and left it on the floor. Oh […]

Here’s my daughter devouring her veggies. Looks like she ate most of the peas and greenbeans already. : ) We’re trying to teach her healthy habits early and hopefully she’ll stick with them forever.

Dinner last night. Balsamic chicken topped with fresh, chopped spinach, tomatoes and feta cheese. It was yummy. Wife said it was the best food she’s ever had (she says that all the time, though, so not sure what to think).
I promise. There is chicken under there.
Eat at home. It’s usually worth the time it takes […]
