I had to spend the better part of an hour yesterday teaching my four and six year olds how to pronounce “horror”. Riding home from a delicious dinner at a local Chinese buffet (no, seriously, the food is really good there!), I hear my kids chatting away in the back, when suddenly I hear “whores” repeated over and over and over again. “Guys, stop, that’s a bad word,” I yell at them. “What?

I’ve started this blog to chronicle my daily struggles working at home full-time as a web developer with four children.
