My dad shot this on his cell phone in about 2004 when Ed was a little guy with a big musical soul. And …
As long as you're going to do it anyway, please come over here and let me shoot you in the foot. Same net effect, but I'll enjoy it more than you will.

I think in fact that there are 3 weeks of every month when women are pumped full of hormones which mask just how completely irritating other people are.
I'm over at PunditMom's today junking up her cogent political discourse with my goofball claptrap.
But it's just as well since I don't have two brain cells to rub together. I just got back from taking …
We've got an amazing sitter who comes every Saturday night from 6-11pm. He's a great guy who has been a preschool teacher for decades, and each of our kids was in his class when they …
Yeah, I know… No one cares what I had for lunch, BUT they didn't say anything about breakfast. Plus, Kara asked. So with that, the first installment of Erika On Demand is all about breakfast. …

Oh Eddie, I know… You're the one who has always said you can't wait to be a grownup. You, my most kid-like kid. You crack me up! You'll get there soon enough, but for now …
Way back when we only had one child I used to do things like make little movies about him. Those were the days. I present to you today "Walk It Off" featuring my oldest son …
When I was pregnant with my second child, so many people told me that having two kids was going to be so much harder than just one. Like I hadn't just assumed that from the …

Hey, has anyone noticed that I've started using my kids real names and photos on this site …
