Best Friends
Who wants to get kicked right in the feels? Pucker up… While I’m not certain everyone would agree that being a friend is the same thing as being a dad, and believe me there is a semantic, overly-worded debate there that will never end — I love the subtlety of the moments in this video. [...]

The Reaction We All Want
Going back to work has been really strange for me. I wrote about that here for Buzzfeed last week. I come home around 7-9pm each night, which, I know, is normal for most of us. But for me, having been around SO much… it’s a whole different deal. I’m dog tired. I’m overwhelmed. Life has [...]

Can’t Calm Them, Join Them
We’ve all (the royal WE) been there. Your kid is screaming bloody murder and they just seem like they need a little compassion, a gentle caress or a calm voice. Do we cave?
