Alien vs. Baby
[ click the image to enlarge ] In space no one can hear you scream. But because we live on a planet with an atmosphere, you get to hear all of the screams. Lots and lots of them once you become a parent. All kinds, too! Your own, your kids’, your neighbors’, store clerks’… This […]
A Jogger Stroller As Seen by its Passenger
Selecting a stroller is basically like buying a car. It can have all the weighing, uncertainty and overwhelm for prospective or expecting parents.

Ninja Parent Lessons: Tickle Attacks, Part 3 (Advanced)
I want you to know that I risk my life sharing this shadowy Eastern warrior wisdom with you.
