After recently moving the TV out of my bedroom, I found a renewed appreciation for what a sanctuary that precious room in the house can be. A feeling I didn’t have every time I dared to step a toe into my son’s bedroom.
Think “teenage boy room” and a deluge of...

One drawback to living in a “Melting Pot” society is our lack of clear-cut customs. Many cultures have their own rituals and ways of celebrating the many transitions in the life of a child, especially when that child transitions from “kid” to “young adult.”

My son’s hair was getting out of control. It’s not that I thought it was too long, or...
