The following is the first in a series of faux-Psalms, inspired by the elegant writing style of the Psalmists as well as the plight of the average stay at home mom.

You’d think it would be the other way around, and it often is, but as Mommies and Daddies we do a lot of learning, relearning, and self-discovery with and through our kids. Today, my 2-year-old gave my 8-month-old a bag of Corn Pops cereal, and she promptly spread it all around her …
