A long time ago, when our two oldest boys were young, someone asked one or both of them if we had a family slogan. I don’t recall the context (I should ask them), but I do recall their answer. The first thing that came to mind for them was: “We don’t do that.” Ha! The…
We are rounding out the two weeks on the calendar that we call “Birthday Season” here. All three of our girls were born within two weeks of each other. (Two weeks and a day during leap years.) Strangely, they also fall chronologically in age order: Kirstie’s first, then Julia, then Emma. It’s a fun, full,…
The Winter Olympics are a big deal in the Campbell home. So much of a big deal that we even called up Time Warner Cable and purchased a television package so that we wouldn’t miss any part of it.1 Each of us has a different favorite, but we do watch pretty much every event. (Even…
I feel like a broken record sometimes. No matter how many years (or decades) I have traveled the solar circuit… I feel like I keep learning the same lessons. One of those is this: we have a limited time here—so make the most of it. This is not a “rah-rah” post intended to inspire you…

Some posts were taken from my published books, and others (like today’s)…

Begun by the enterprising youngster, Alex Campbell (then aged ten), it is entering its second season, and boasting nearly…
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. It starts out with no sleep, lots of messes to clean up (including many dirty bottoms per day), fussy meal times, and plenty of time just trying to figure out what makes this new person tick! Then you reach the mobile stage and it become exponentially harder….

Some were taken from books (like today’s) and others have only been published online thus far. There are some funny, some sad,…
