It’s weird, and I don’t know if other parents have the same problem, but I just can’t read/watch/hear anything where something happens to a child without getting choked up about.

What is it about fall that inspires so many fun projects? Is it the magic of the pumpkin? The relief of cooler weather after so many how days? Here are some of my favorite Fall craft tutorials: Fall Glitter Wreath by Homemade by Jill Sweater Pillows by Brassy Apple This pennant is a …
In addition to blogging about the Angels and the Ducks, I write a monthly column for IE Family Magazine called “Game Time”, which covers sports for kids and families.
