I took 5-month-old A to her fourth baseball game at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night, and I have lost count how many games 4-year-old V has been to since joining our family. Most of the time I have gone to the games without my husband because he works during them. I've learned a thing or two about how to successfully attend a ballgame with two kids and still have a good time. The key is being ... Read more

We worked a full day remotely, which brought back memories of working together at a newspaper in Arizona.
