22 DecHe Says He Hates You

He waved […]

06 MayMy Dad’ing’ Ain’t Traditional
The best part of my life has been being Dad. I think I can say that with authority because I have been Dad to eight children. I’m not under that mystical spell that comes with being a new dad—you know, where it’s all wonder and joy. No, I’m far past the “cute” childhood stage. I’ve […]
