I've been using my tumblr (evildead1971.tumblr.com) as my current blog and I post a new entry every Sunday. They range from personal stories to opinions on media. With a day time job and other activities, it can be tough updating once a week. But, I still love doing it (I'm aware of this sentence's grammer) Read more

Great article - we hear this all the time. Blogging (or any web content) is definitely a snowballing process. It takes a ton of time and effort to build the first little ball and get it rolling on it's own. However, if you keep at it you can create a massive juggernaut that almost runs itself! Does anyone have a Read more

Maybe one-in-fifty-thousand bloggers could make a living at it.

For most people:

Oh my god, #2. Our biggest issue is chores. Where I can see what needs to be done, he can SEE it but not grasp DOING IT. We tried a chore list on the Cozi app, where I made a chore list for each of us, so he had a list of what it was his turn to do. Then I had to say "have you finished your list" instead of "did you Read more

I have a unique name, shared only with my (late) father. I get about 9650 Google hits on my name, which is nothing. But enough to give up at Step 5. Read more

Honestly, after my wife has nursed one and is in the middle of nursing a second child, I would disagree with most of it. The nursing bras have made her life a heck of a lot easier. Being able to 'get in and get out' really saves you in a pinch. Especially when you have to do a lot of feeding in public places. Read more

Great tip! I was going into my profile to check and I just realized I've already done this. I probably did this when I didn't want people to see what companies I was scoping out. Self five!

Awesome! Now to show half of my company how to do this to stop the spam... Read more

All of my recommendations are not necessary but are thrifty ways to get items that make breastfeeding a little easier or more convenient. Read more

This is also important if you don't want anyone you are connected with (i.e., your boss) seeing you follow new companies if you are searching for a new job. Read more

Let's say you are deciding between formula and breastfeeding. You could counter this article and buy/do the opposite of these 6 things and you are still saving tons of money instead of going formula. Not to mention it's much better for the child. Also, most health insurance plans (if not all) will cover the cost of a Read more

It's near impossible to remove everything but you can hide a lot of the embarrassing things you posted to the internet by posting new stuff that is less embarrassing. Read more

I feel this. A lot. I was raised by a single mom who worked full time, put herself through college, and was seriously ill. Boy oh boy, I had better never forget that for even a second. She busted her ass to take care of us and raise me on her own. She didn't get any help from anybody, even when she asked (except, ya Read more
