    Are You A Good Sport

    I just hate when I'm watching my kids play a sport like soccer or hockey and hear some loudmouth yelling at his kids. Now there are times when I get steamed about something I hear, but I have never allowed myself to get in an argument with another parent in the stands or on the sidelines. It's...

    Hunger Games

    I was totally expecting to hate this movie. But my wife had read the book and wanted to go, so we went. It was an amazing movie, so good that I'd see it again. How many of you guys have seen it?

    Playing With The Wii

    We've had our Wii for a couple of years now and we still have a lot of fun with it. We all get going on it playing the games. It's been especially great when the weather prevents the kids from getting outside and running off their excess energy. Anyone else have Wii?

    Vacation Money

    My wife and I have decided that we are only going on vacation this year if we can make enough money outside of our regular jobs. So we're trying to come up with some ideas. Since neither one of us want to miss out on family time, we're thinking of selling on eBay. We thought we might buy items...

    Family Skating Rink

    Every winter I get out and build a hockey rink on our pond. I put boards all around the perimeter and set up goals at each end. I even string lights so we can play hockey at night or just go for a skate. That is I've done this every winter until this one. So far, the pond just won't stay frozen...

    When She Makes More

    My wife has a better, more high paying job than I do and I'm proud of her. It's never bothered me to make less money. I'm glad she makes what she does because that means there is more for us to live on and enjoy. We're a family so I don't think of it as my money or her money. I also know that...

    Pulling The Kids Behind The Tractor

    My boys just love this in the winter. We have a rounded piece of hard plastic that was originally a tube on a slide. I hook one end to the tractor and the boys sit on the other end. I pull them around our track area through the snow. They have so much fun and so do I just watching them.

    Overdid It And Hurt My Back

    I was over helping a buddy on the weekend. We did flooring, trim and painting. Before I left home though I had to shovel out our driveway. The combination did me in and for the past couple of days I've been paying the price with a really sore back. Between a couple of pain pills and a medicinal...
