Let's get a few things cleared up right away. My kids are awesome. My kids are not angels. With that out in the open, I am proud of the fact that it seems like my partner and I are...

June is Pride month, or as I like to think of it, a month to celebrate all the beautiful families and people in our community. After the tragedy in Orlando that killed 49 people in a gay club, my heart...

From the backseat I heard her say: "I'm not beautiful Mommy." My heart sank. And I knew I had this chance, and maybe only this chance, to help her understand that she is incredibly beautiful. To have her believe in her...

According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of “family” is: 1: a group of individuals living under one roof and usually under one head : household 2a: a group of persons of common ancestry : clan b: a people or group of peoples regarded...
