    Many great ideas here, ones which I use daily! I keep a strict sleep schedule. I might go to bed 2-3 hours early on my nights off, so I can enjoy a few extra hours w my family the next day, but it's important to stay close to your schedule 7 days a ...

    All of you who are saying his vacay is over, get a job, he's the lazy one, etc. I say, he DOES have a job. Being a stay-at-home dad is as much work as being a stay-at-home mom. Remember the old cliche about housewives sitting around eating bon-bons w...

    I didn't return to my first camp for a number of reasons, but the big one was that I was expected to pretty much ignore my girls at camp. I wasn't permitted to speak to them more than just a greeting in passing, not allowed to hug them in front of ot...
