I finally got brave enough to watch Fiona’s birth video, and I’m glad I did. It gave me a better idea of some of the timeline (like, for instance, I actually only pushed for about 5 minutes this time around!) and made me realize that I wasn’t as loud as I thought, except right at the [...]
I made this video for Kris for Father’s Day. Originally I had wanted to colour correct some of the pictures, add more captions, maybe make some of the transitions a bit better, but Kris’ iMac crashed around the time I wanted to work on it and so it ended up being a couple of days late [...]

First, Sarah reminded me again about this video and website, Where the hell is Matt?.
His videos are a lot of fun. I guarantee they will make you smile.
The addendum is about my chores post. Reading it over, I wanted to clarify something. I briefly mentioned that I don’t agree with all the Radical Unschooling concepts but [...]
