How Winnie The Pooh Changed My Life

How Winnie The Pooh Changed My Life

I’ve been watching a lot of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh lately and there some pretty good “life lessons” within the story. You know, like when Piglet gives up his beloved family home to Owl because he doesn’t want to hurt Eeyore’s feelings. Or when Rabbit invites Pooh in for lunch, even though he knows Pooh will eat all his honey. And I realized that the mo...

The Circle of Life..

The Circle of Life..

The last few weeks have been very difficult..  my mama’s boy,  my baby dog, my shadow, my lil’ Butchie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The day before Easter of 2014 he had an episode, not quite a seizure but more serious than his typical dramatic exhausted collapse, you see Butchie was my drama queen/little clown. Of course, we were out of town on vacation and he seemed to bounce right...

Real is the New Sexy

Real is the New Sexy

How often are people true to who they really are? Social media glamorizes life in a way that seeks perfection and doesn’t allow for those not-so-magical moments of life to shine through. At WIRL Project, we’re ready for a change and we agree with Jamie Catto, who wrote an incredible post called “Real Is the New Sexy” on his blog. We, at WIRL Project, think what he has to sa...

PLEASE! Do your research!

PLEASE! Do your research!

(And I just came from work so it’s weighing on my mind).  Probably my biggest pet peeve is when people buy a dog, and then decide a few months later that they don’t ...

Being a Parent Makes Me…Uncomfortable.

Being a Parent Makes Me…Uncomfortable.

Strangely, I feel like one of the most comforting things about becoming a parent is when I started to understand that it’s normal to be…well…uncomfortable. There’s a sense of bizarre security that comes with the realization that no one – no one! – has all the answers, and we’re all sort of flying by the seats of our yoga pants. I think it’s only when we em...

Hey, Quityerbitchin’!

Hey, Quityerbitchin’!

I like to think of myself as a very positive person, however I have a very bad habit that I have recently discovered as pointed out by my wife.  Apparently, I have a regular tendency to convey my negative displeasure toward a situation, item or nature of the environment in the present.  Simply put: I bitch a lot. Since my wife so delicately pointed this out to me several months ago, I have been ca...

The C-Section: What It’s Really Like

The C-Section: What It’s Really Like

Oh, a C-Section? I’ll take it! Most women think this is the “easier” route because you don’t have a push something the size of a bowling ball out your you-know-what, but I’m here to tell you a different story. This post is strictly about my personal experience (but a lot of other moms have agreed with me) and I do not have any medical background to support my claims; ...
