How to Make a Superhero Cape
A couple of years ago, I found myself trapped in a house with two very active little boys and a baby. It was the sort of situation guaranteed to crack even the toughest nut. And let’s be fair. I’m not that tough. In a flash of genius, I told the boys I’d make them superhero…
You Can’t Afford $100 Pants
My parents bicker. In that make other people uncomfortable because you can’t tell if they’re serious sort of way. Over the years, they have learned to get along by avoiding conflict.

It’s always been fun for them, of course, but as the girls have gotten older, I’ve noticed an unsettling trend when…
