Continue reading What To Do With Leftover Halloween CandyThis is my daughter’s third Halloween. Every year, she is a tiger. She is a tiger because we live in Memphis, TN and the mascot for the University of Memphis is a tiger. You might ask yourself what that has to do with my daughter’s Halloween. We recycle, reuse, and re-purpose the costume for multiple …
Continue reading Recycle, Reuse, and Re-purpose Halloween Costumesphoto credit: mahalie via flickr Hi, my name is Buck and I don’t have parent guilt. I probably should start from the beginning. I travel for my work rarely. I have started going to conferences for blogging and social media. I want to be a better blogger. I have attended a couple locally. I have …
Continue reading Traveling Dad Doesn’t Have GuiltTo say my daughter is a reader is an understatement. Recently at her 3rd birthday party, the opening of the presents came to a screeching halt because she opened a book and had to “read” it right then. It made my heart swell with pride right then. Danni, my daughter, can’t read words but loves …

Continue reading TWSS: Proper GrammarA couple of weeks ago, we had to buy some shoes for Danni. Danni is now old enough that she wants to pick her own shoes. She is HUGE fan of the Disney Princesses and Tinkerbell. Target had some Disney Princess and Dora shoes in her size on clearance. She went with the Disney Princess …
Continue reading TWSS: Disney would be proudA couple of months ago, Danni started retaining information. This does not seem like a big deal but it is. This went beyond her name and age. Danni can hold conversations. Although sometimes she has a little attitude attached with it. A common question Danni gets is her name and age. Most of the time, …
Continue reading TWSS: Day After InaugurationIn our house hold, Danni has started telling us what she wants to do. She has been doing it for awhile but it has become more urgent. “Who wants to go to school?” “I do, I do, I do” is how Danni responds to everything. “Who loves Mommy?” “I do, I do, I do” You …
Continue reading TWSS: I do, I do, I doAs any parent can tell you, once your kid starts walking and talking, you get little to no privacy. This is especially true when it comes to bathroom breaks. My wife tells me that she has not taken a bathroom break with the door closed in 2 years. The other day Chelsea went to the …

Now on to what you all came here for, That’s …
Continue reading That's What She Said: SantaMy daughter, Danni, is two year old going on twenty-two. She has to have the last word in every conversation. My wife would say that Danni gets it from me. The other night, we were watching a DVD that I was reviewing for a giveaway on Buck’s Blog. Danni crawled out of my lap after …
Continue reading That's What She Said- Last WordMy daughter, Danni, has never been sick. Sure she has had the sniffles and she has gotten a mild fever but she has never vomited until last Wednesday.
