My Wife Just Mommy-Brained… #329

Posted under "MY WIFE JUST SAID..."

There’s a term called “mommy brain.” Sure, men can have daddy brain, too, of course, because it simply refers to the incredibly dumb things you say and do (or forget to) as a parent because your kids and life have ganged up and mugged the majority of your IQ points. When our parental noggins are […]



Hyper-Real, Hyper-Freaky 3D of Cartoon Characters

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

I’m a designer, so I work with visuals, but 3D art has always astounded me. I tried to learn it one and was able to create a cylinder with a cone sticking out of its side. So yeah. I gave up on that form of creative, but my respect for 3D artists has only deepened. […]



My Wife Just Sang… #328

Posted under "MY WIFE JUST SAID..."

Don’t get me wrong, Total Eclipse of the Heart is a great song, I love it. But any parent knows that anything good can be ruined by experiencing it several hundreds of times. Parents who watched Frozen, may have said “Hey, this is actually a pretty good movie,” and then, after a few weeks of […]

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

We live in dark times. So who needs anymore offensive, insensitive douchbaggery? No thanks. But! There’s an amazing middle ground between the stupid silliness of a kid’s candy-wrapper joke and the going-to-hell-in-handbasket darkness of some jokes out there. So whether they’re snarky, darkish or edgy, hopefully these jokes hit your funny bone. But, not like […]

There are some moments people share online that are just so rad and uplifting, you can’t help but explode with joy (on a good day) or at least crack a smile with a pleased nod (when you’re having a terrible day). This is one of those moments. The first (hopefully) and most important (definitely) pregnancy […]



My Wife Just Said… #326

Posted under "MY WIFE JUST SAID..."

Sometimes we put off things, kidding ourselves that they won’t be so bad when we do them later. HAH! I’m not sure how we fool ourselves into these utter interplanetary flights of fancy. Maybe it’s that our distaste for a task is so extreme that it gives us the delusion-fuel we need to con ourselves […]



The Hairdresser Who Stole My Little Boy

Posted under NOTEBOOK

It had been a long while since my son had a haircut. It really wasn’t for any other reason than procrastination and the fact that he just didn’t give a single bother. His hair was swiftly approaching a Musketeer’s length, though, so we started trying to work a haircut into our busy summer schedule (and […]



Amazing Disney Villain Makeup

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

I’ve tried painting my kid’s face before. It didn’t go spectacularly well. I was going for a tiger and he wound up looking like he fell asleep face-first on a pile of Reese’s peanut butter cups. But kids are so generous about terrible things, so my little mutant tiger ran around the house roaring proudly. […]
