And then he sings…

February 2, 2012

So, when he’s not working or chasing his kids around, Mr. Mister (or Seth, as you’ll find out in this video) is a singer/songwriter. He wrote this song during his separation. And I think, all of us single parents – moms and dads – can relate. I had to share and took this video during [...]

There is a light at the end of every tunnel. You just have to find yours. When you see it, you’ll know. One hint: the light won’t be a person, unless you’re looking in the mirror. Fun weekend reading for you, while I scramble to get my house ready for an influx of party guests… [...]
