What are your children's names and birth dates?

Eli, age 2.

Are you considering having more?

Yep--around February 7th, 2009.

How would you describe your parenting philosophy?

Go with the flow....to a point. I don't mind my child eating off the ground or taking a drink from a friends sippy cup, BUT he will nap every day after lunch and he will be in bed by 8:00pm.

What's your favorite parenting book (if any)?

Hmmm...not much into parenting books. I did like some of the Baby Whisperer for Toddler's though.

What are your family’s favorite books and toys?

Big on puzzles and Playmobile toys. Also, love Usborne books.

What are your family’s favorite TV shows or movies?

Yo Gabba Gabba (says the child); 30 Rock, The Office, and Grey's Anatomy

What one adjective would you choose to describe your household?

Warm.

What do you see your kids doing when they grow up?

Hopefully anything that makes them happy (as long as it's safe).

Describe your most humbling parenting moment.

Trying to load the 300 packages of a king size bed (alone) onto a cart at Ikea while my child was screaming at the top of his lungs. His voice was echoing off the rafters. Finally this 20-something hipster felt pity on me and helped load up the bed, helped me check out, and even helped me put it in my car. Thank goodness for her! I was in tears.
