An unintentional step back

I recently shared in an earlier post about how important timing is. Most of us spend years worrying about this conversation, and others like it.  I honestly felt that when I got married that new part of my life with my wife, and eventually children, would fill whatever part of my life needed diapers.  Eventually … Continue reading An unintentional step back

Padded peace

I still don’t completely understand the allure and draw of diapers for myself.  You’d think after years and years with them that I’d have a much more structured and solid cause and effect understanding of them.  Yet, this morning I felt like I should wear one to work so I slipped one on and headed … Continue reading Padded peace
