Disclosure: “This is a sponsored campaign on behalf of Proctor & Gamble and Tide. All opinions and dirty laundry are mine.” Ah, baseball season. Not only is this spectacular sport a national pastime, it’s also the arch-nemesis of cleanliness! You don’t even need to be playing the sport to get dirty. Don’t believe me? Take my older son Jason to a game and he’ll show you! Yep, every time we go to Yankee Stadium to …

I want to talk about bonds. No not James, not Barry and not savings. I’m talking about the bond I have with my two boys. It’s a crazy cliche but it’s so insanely true.
