3 Things Every Stay at Home Dad Must Have

I have a cousin, who was a wild man when he was younger. He threw crazy parties, spent money like it was going out of style, and probably could have turned an insurance seminar into a club scene with some funny jokes and a few funky dance moves.  Then he had two identical twin baby [...]
