Tricycles for Adults

Posted by on February 6th, 2013, under EQUIPMENT

I like dangerous stuff as much as anyone but this makes me anxious in the adventure bone. But these guys have taken it to the limit. THE LIMIT, I TELL YOU. Sure, real-life Mario Kart looks like fun, and is just what the doctor ordered if you’re trying to recapture your toddler youth, but I’m [...]

Posted by on January 25th, 2013, under EQUIPMENT

So, listen Lego. We have a problem. You have made THIS. Buy it here! Where was this when I was kid, Sirs and Madams? I lost years off my life. I’m not angry. I’m not. JUST SAYING, OKAY? Also, you’ve cut down the amount of time searching for pieces by 1/1,000,000,000,000th, thereby making Lego activities [...]

So, I’ve been toying with (yes, it’s a pun) talking about more cool stuff and equipment and toys on the blog. I find so many cool things, and as evidenced by our 15 Days of Christmas Junk that ended up being, well, only eight days, I can go on forever. So, I thought I should [...]

We’ve been seeing the resurgence of a device for some time around the Internetz so we wanted to review it a bit more. Introducing… the Daddy Saddle, or “Daddle” for short. Does that kid [...]

Big Brother? Big Daddy!

Posted by on April 15th, 2011, under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

First off, I’m not a paranoid parent. I check on my son if it’s: A. a loud noise in my son’s room or B. Too quiet. So, when we got this baby monitor as a gift at my wife’s baby shower, I was a little skeptical. It saved my life. And thankfully wasn’t necessary to save Finn’s. This little [...]
