I wake up on a Sunday morning. It's a nice summers day and some gardening is in order. I make breakfast for the kids and my wife and proceed with the usual morning routine. Out I go to the shed, get the lawn mower and off I go. I wave to a car coming down the street. It is a guy I know lives
Read Full StoryIt isn't often I would recommend a book to every parent but this one is just the inspirational story we all need to hear. It started in 2006 when Kristen Morrison gave birth to a beautiful baby boy Gryffin, who was later diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Instead of accepting that her son would h

Read Full StoryThis is a project I've been working on for baby in waiting. It's a very simple, not particularly fancy knitted hat that you can make as big or as small as you like. An older child might like to make these for themselves, or for a doll, or as a gift. If like me, your knitting skills are limited to straight lines or squares - don't despair, that's all you need to know :-) You will need Size 4 knitting needles Wool Step 1 - Cast on 20 stitches (This will suit a newborn, 40 for a ch

As I write this post, the grocery stores around me are filled with Easter Eggs. Shelves packed from top to bottom of colorful, chocolate eggs. As I write this post, my inbox is full of emails and messages inciting me to have a "Nestle Free" Easter.
