Everyone is willing to go above and beyond in order to do what's best for the kids.

 

What’s your favorite family tradition?
We watched all of the Marvel movies during the pandemic which prompted us to have weekly movie nights. Between series like The Mandalorian and WandaVision, we are introducing our daughters to classic movies from our youth.

You have to sing karaoke, what song do you pick?
Depending on who I'm with, either Dancing Queen by ABBA or Party in the U.S.A by Miley Cyrus.

Pretty much anything from boy bands of the 90's, and, much to the chagrin of my kids, I don't care if anyone is listening!

Pros and Cons of Various Writing Instruments or Repurposing Damaged and Outdated Books
