This plate, half off the coffee table, seemingly balanced by the fork on the other side, was how my kids left their after school snack dish.

I have had a great week, work wise meetings were very good. So worth doing this in person. I also got time to explore some places I'd have never visited.

Oh travel. I do enjoy that I get to travel for work, but sometimes it's exhausting. Anyway, sunrises over Toronto are nice!

One of the things I'm sad about these days (among a bunch) is finding a new to me artist who is amazing that hasn't put out new music in almost a decade.

This song has been playing in my head for weeks now. Not going to complain when a banger gets stuck there.

I got my son a small no screen digital camera for a camp he's at now. I found out he couldn't bring it, so I'm seeing if it can inspire anything this week for me. It's got a fun dated look to the photos

Not to say lots of mistakes weren't made! But it's worth learning from them and doing better.

Parenting strategies are shifting as neuroscience brings the developing brain into clearer focus Old-school parenting strategies like β€˜go to your room!’ can often amplify the very behavior that parents want to correct.

theconversation.com/parenting-st... Always good to keep up with the science, I'm glad we read contemporary books when starting the parenting journey.

That's brilliant, and would have the benefit for me that I have small feet and men's socks are often one size doesn't fit me.
