So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu!

From AJ: The mind behind the madness...

Sigh, it is with some regret and much sadness that I must say goodbye for now. I plan to occasionally post a review, but I will be releasing ownership and design to MaryAnne from The Punk Rock Mom. I expect that she will take her new and refreshing energy and make this blog into a powerhouse of information and a great community hub to boot!

Life has taken over my spare time for multiple blogs, and I have other things I would like to focus on (like design and crafting), besides, my family blog is also standing alone with no new posts...

I am excited to see what Mary Anne does with the place! I know it will knock my socks off! ;) Good-luck and goodbye(ish) Mary Anne!!

I'm not actually going anywhere, but will be stepping out for awhile!

He's a dad who raves about his kids, thinks his wife is beautiful and will blog about scheming to get some. He keeps things fresh by posting the occasional vlog. He also keeps it real in a way that I think dads generally do better than moms; a recent post was about a stinky poop he took in his daughter's bathroom that was so terrible it actually made her cry.  There are few things more dear to my heart than a good poop post.
