Yesterday was the day that I was born, and I’m thankful for all the well-wishes I’ve received from you all: family, friends and all.

Dear Son, You call me “Batman,” and you’re Robin. You want to save the world, and I’m proud of you for it. “We’re superheroes,” you say. “We’re here to protect.” Beyond Gotham, we’ll save the world. It sounds so simple. You make me believe that it’s all possible. I want you to believe it. And, somehow, I feel that you must believe …

The holidays are a time of fun, laughter and memory-making experiences. But, with all that frivolity, there comes a fair bit of discomfort. That’s just part of why I was thrilled to hear about the #PinkRelief campaign by Pepto-Bismol. It’s a product I know has helped me and so many other parents over the years, and it’s also been a …

We talk about heroes a lot in our house. Heroes are at the center of most of the play and interaction — they also love to see acts of courage by all their favorite superheroes. But, I also look back at my own childhood, and I see the lessons that I’ve learned… Those lessons have helped me to get through even the darkest …
