A Practical Surprise – Waiting to Find Out Baby’s Gender

January 31, 2015 by npriolo 3 Comments

So let me start off by saying that this article is going to be completely biased toward my point of view on keeping your baby’s gender a surprise. However, my intent is not necessarily to persuade you that this is the right decision for you, but rather, I’d like to offer some insights on how keeping the gender a surprise until birth can actually be a very practical option.

October 3, 2014 by npriolo Leave a Comment

And that would be absolutely true, however, I know that my time is coming.

Surprisingly Simple Fun With Paper Airplanes

April 12, 2014 by npriolo Leave a Comment

I often hear parents lamenting over how much their kids are glued to their electronics. Whether it’s video games, the iPad, movie watching, cell phone addiction, the computer, or some other type of electronic gadget, many kids have become so accustomed to playing with their electronics, that they have almost lost the ability to entertain themselves in any other way.
