Today I was planning to announce an awesome giveaway . . . probably my favorite so far. Unfortunately, our buyer backed out yesterday and I am a mess. My midwife will be here soon for my 39 week checkup. She’ll ask me how I’m doing, and I won’t lie. I’m shutting down emotionally. I am …
Did We Sell Our House? Good Question . . .
Daddypotamus here. We’re approaching the final 2-3 weeks of pregnancy, and the reality of baby #2 is starting to set in. A flurry of activity and the challenge of relieving stress in full effect. In case you’re new here or haven’t read about our family vision, here’s the rundown on why we’re in such a …
Does I Win = You Lose???
On The Other Side Of Almost Every “Steal” Is Someone Getting Cheated That’s what Daddypotamus said yesterday as we talked through the events of the last two weeks.

Gigipotamus: It Takes a Village
In our culture, it seems you just don’t live with your relatives unless there’s no other option, and you have to look long and hard to find another option before you get a pass. So why has our family embraced such an unfashionable lifestyle? What do I get out of selling my house and giving …
Sell My House and I’ll Make You Dinner
