Born of Fire
I grew up in a small town in California (well... small by Bay Area standards... there were about 30,000 people when I was in High School 😀 ). In my town there were two high schools: Mine was on the south side of town and the other on the north side. At the time in …
I am sitting in my room, the day before I celebrate the passing of another year. However, when I should be reflecting on my blessings and doing my best to not look 53 (whatever that looks like), I can't... I can't because our country is in peril. I refer, of course to the continued killing …

I decided to check out my blog today, just to see what was up. In the corner was an icon I hadn't seen before (or it was so long ago, I didn't recognize it). It was a trophy... weird. I clicked on it, and was surprised with a "Happy Anniversary" message from WordPress... Kidstuph was …

It has been about two months since I started my latest adventure: a new job. On the one hand, I really can’t say it is new because I've been doing the job for months, but only recently could I actually claim the title (and get business cards - woohoo!). I won't bore you with the …
I was going through my posts last night as I was doing some cleanup and organizing on Kid Stuph. It was good for a number of reasons. First, it gave me the opportunity to see where I have been, what my mental and emotional state was like, and how my blogging has (ahem) improved. More …
