Guinea Pigs make good pets, and we had a couple of them a few years ago. We did a lot of research before buying them, and found out that they need a lot of space, they don’t climb or jump, and they are not very inteligent. They are very cute little creatures, and they squeek…
When we got our guinea pigs, I found out that they needed a lot of space for their cage since they don’t climb. They have a nice big cage in the family room, which you can read about here. In order to maximize their fresh air, thought that it might be nice for them to…

Sitting in a long boring meeting, I had to convince myself that I could make it through. I had to use the behavior techniques on myself that are typically used with the kids that I work with, which is a first-then card. First I have to endure the meeting, then I get to have an…
In order to develop a habit, I have found that I have to do it daily for two weeks. I am going to test this out by spending 15 minutes a day straightening up or organizing an are/very small piece of the house. Those who know me know that I run a small business out…

I don’t share a lot of recipes because I am a very simplistic cook, and most of what I make does not actually require a recipe. This dish for example does not actually require a recipe, but I will make one up for you so that you can share in the deliciousness of it as…

When I was going to have my first child, I would read stories that would gush about how there was this instant bond with the baby when it was born. I found that to not be true. When my daughter was put on my chest, it was like she was this little alien that had…
