My son loves numbers, big numbers especially. When he was asked in school to share a story about a time he got hurt, he referenced a time (obviously he couldn’t think of anything in particular) when he got hurt 365 days ago. He’s always asking how many days old he is (which is when I [...]

It certainly has not been easy, but I feel as though, now, I’m in the most healthy state I have ever been in. Nothing reflects this more than seeing how confident and well-adjusted my son is at 5 1/2. [...]

How Will We Love?
Chris Brickler was one of the keynote speakers at the It Takes a Village Parenting Conference this past weekend in San Diego.
