Valentines Day Letter to my Daughter

I'm not a huge fan of Valentines Day, like I previously said in this earlier post that I used to share my thoughts on the day. Not because I'm cupids nemesis or anti-love, but because I'm quite the opposite and think that love should be celebrated year round. I believe that you...

Thank You Technology

It's so difficult being a working parent on an unsociable shift pattern. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my job and working shifts certainly has a ton of advantages but it's days like today that I have to put that extra effort into remembering that I'm here to provide a stable life for my family.
