Parenting Newbies
New to being a father and only seven weeks in. This will be my biggest adventure yet.
My Promise to You
My Dearest Child: I know you have not met me yet, but I am certain you have heard my voice. I am that weird noise you hear echoing on the other side of your mother’s tummy. Sometimes you have heard me singing to you; please do not be alarmed by this sound, I feel you […]
