The little guy who loved playing baseball and trying to catch frogs walked down the aisle recently. The family was there for the happy occasion. Let me tell you a little about my baby cousin.

My family is saying goodbye to Uncle Jeff. Aunts, uncles and cousins coming together has a way of making the family laugh even if the circumstances are not exactly happy ones. Here's a glimpse into my family as I remember "UJ".

I narrated a story about JP Rende and Kat Rao-Rende, a married creative team who were inspired to write and record "Nothing Rhymes with Orange" while raising children diagnosed with ADHD. The music helps children and their parents navigate their way through neurodiversity and ADHD. (Photo: earwormny.com)

Did you grow up with siblings? Are you raising multiple children now? Check out these books by Diane Shore. "How to Drive Your Sister Crazy" and "How to Drive Your Brother Bananas" will keep your children occupied as they learn to read and improve their reading skills. They might think they're learning new skills to drive their siblings crazy, but reading along with them will tip you off to their schemes and thwart their efforts. Your children will learn to read and stay out of trouble at the same time!

There has been a lot of talk about the Tooth Fairy, but what happens when those fairies (There's more than one?) take the teeth away? Jon Spillman has the answer, and he wants to share them with your children with his book "The Magic of Flutterville".

In this book, Jon shows your children the work that takes place in this magical town and the important part their teeth play in helping Flutterville and the fairies that live and work there.

Have you experienced a gyatt moment? Are you a Boomer? Check out T.M. Daliggr's book about the lingo used by children today. If you think it was hard enough to relate to what's happening these days, wait until you read this book. Then again, this book could be just what you need to figure out what your children are saying.

One of the daily challenges parents face is "What's for dinner?" Sometimes we'll go for a tried-and-true recipe, and sometimes we're willing to try something new. Stephanie Valentine has written a cookbook. I tried a couple of recipes in it, and the whole family, even The Oppressed, liked it. Thank you, Stephanie!

My family took a trip to the Dominican Republic last summer. The highlight for me was sharing a room with The Boy, who wasn't as excited about this. We had a lot of fun, had a lot of adventures and brought home some great memories. Here's a little of what happened that week.

My family took a vacation at a resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. My favorite part of the vacation was I got to room with The Boy. He wasn't as excited as I was, but we still had a great time.

This is me reading an earlier blog post from my website.

Wife took The Boy and his friends, the Fruit Loops, on vacation. She's a brave soul for doing this.

It reminded me of a time I went on vacation with friends when we were in high school. It was a vacation that created great memories for us, and maybe some scary memories for "P" and "D".
