BACK TO THE IMPERFECT BUSINESS AT HAND
We only have ourselves to blame. We could make up excuses about why we haven’t updated our blog in weeks. We could say our dogs ate our computers or that we’ve been too busy responding to fan mail. But telling lies has never really been our style. We have always been painfully honest with our readers. Honest enough to admit that our dogs are too small to reach our computers and our mail consists primarily of bills and junk mail, as our parents (who run our mail department) are always quick to point out. Of course, that never stops us from asking.
“Mom, did we get any mail today?”
“Oh, just the usual, a Bed and Bath flyer and an invitation to join the Fruit of the Month club.”
The truth is, despite our best intentions, life, can sometimes get in the way. Sometimes we have plans to sit down at our keyboards, but then some pressing matter calls us away (like a Macy’s One-Day Sale).
But we’re about to begin a fresh new year. A year in which we resolve to re-design our website and update our blog more frequently, maybe even several times a week. (Of course, our past resolutions – to lose 20 pounds and be more organized – haven’t worked out so well.
There we go being too honest again. You know we really should resolve to lie a little.

Writer's Digest judge lauds the Shut Up message.

A few months ago, we entered Shut Up About...Your Perfect Kid! in the Writer's Digest 15th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards. Sadly, we didn't win (we think we may have lost points in the swimsuit contest), but we were thrilled to receive the following comment from the judge (which we just so happen to remember):

"The stories told in this book are both touching and hilarious. The authors do a wonderful job of finding humor in everyday challenges that could prove to be deal-breakers for many tired, over-worked parents. Not only are the authors funny [aww shucks], but they are witty, too. They force the reader to evaluate how he/she might react in different situations involving children, or even adults for that matter, with special needs. It takes great strength for the authors to expose themselves and their difficulties in this narrative and their bravery is to be commended. The drawings also add an enjoyable and personal touch.
