An Oliver Interview : Episode 01

Tonight I bring you a VERY impromptu interview with my two year old. He had been awake for maybe 30 min and we were were having a picnic in the kitchen and somehow ended up talking about my blog and how Oliver should be a guest writer. With all things parenthood, you've got to seize the moment, so with our sleepy hair and zero prep we just went for it. ***So that's my action step for you. Film an interview with your kids this week. Even if just for you. No special outfit or scene, in a few years you'll savor the "normal" you've captured. Here we go : Name : Oliver Cirkles
