100% Accurate Animated Video of Juggling Two Kids

Posted under VIDEOTAPE

Imagine you are holding a child. Or a running chainsaw. Now, imagine doing that with two chainsaws. Or children. Once you go from 1 to 2, you’re juggling. And if they’re chainsaws, you’re probably also on your way to the nearest ER soon. People without kids tend to… not get it. What it’s all like. […]

Posted under VIDEOTAPE

Sure, every parent at one point or another worries about the world their kids are going to live in one day. They wonder what it will be like, and what challenges they’ll likely face.

The Funny(?) Ways Kids Mess-use Things

Posted under NOTEBOOK, SNAPSHOTS

We partnered with OxiClean to bring you this post, because they’re so often the right tool for the parenting job.   You wouldn’t use a dog brush and whipped cream to brush your teeth. Unless you were a kid. “The right tool for the right job” is an expression that kids sort of take and […]



Villains and Vitality

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

I don’t really know what to say. We lose people every day, but it’s always a shock to lose people we all know. We collectively gasp and sigh over them. You’d think decades of people dying would train us to understand that it happens, no matter how sudden, but it doesn’t. Not really. Alan Rickman […]



5 Photos that Show What Parenting Is ACTUALLY Like

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

We’re teaming up with Clorox to share some of the sweet and sour realities of parenthood.   Imagine if someone was recommending parenthood to you, like a movie recommendation.

A photo posted by Charlie Capen (@charliecapen) on Jan 8, 2016 at 11:51am PST For distinct periods of time as a boy, I can remember my father waking up before dawn, and sometimes his very presence would urge me out of bed. I don’t exactly remember why I knew I had to wake up, or […]



My Wife Just Texted… #247

Posted under "MY WIFE JUST SAID..."

She was watching Jimmy Fallon clips on YouTube one night, and immediately texted me about deforesting my face. I won’t call my wife a germophobe… because she’ll probably read this, so let’s just say she’s… incredibly hygiene-friendly. So, her horrified reaction at seeing something about poop-infused facial hair was no shocker. I promised her I […]



Inside Out With Only The Out

Posted under VIDEOTAPE

I haven’t seen Inside Out yet. I know, what kind of a Pixar fanboy am I if I can’t even get my butt to a screen or a theater or a phone to watch a Disney Pixar film about something that I am intimately involved with: total lack of control over my emotional state. Kidding. […]



Cannot Stop Giggling (BABY VIDEO)

Posted under VIDEOTAPE

My brovaries nearly exploded and I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this. It’s never a good idea to over-sell it before you share something funny. “THIS IS SO FUNNY!!!” never made anything funnier. BUT! If you watch this and don’t laugh, say “awwwwwwwwww” or at least crack a smile at some point, I’m very […]
