“I never swear. Well… rarely. When I do, I usually say ‘motherf**king c**ksucker’.” ““Elizabeth One could easily describe my own speech as “colorful.” I like to think of statements as recipes, and swear words are some of the zestiest ingredients. My wife’s speech tends to be pretty bland as far as cursing is concerned, […]
I wanted to start a series about places I would love to live, or where I dream about one day settling down one day. Episode one, today, is in Sweden. It’s a really cool idea. I’ve always loved forests and the trees. Always. I may be part elf. I haven’t done the DNA test yet. […]
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. […]
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. But for me, after watching this video, I have one fear. Check it out… Hoverboards. But not even really hoverboards. Rolling […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. They might say you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll lay awake sleepless at night (for years probably), you’ll be on the edge of your seat (except you […]
Kids can have some gloriously oddball thoughts. And even when they’re the completely normal variety, the way they put those thoughts into words can be pretty flippin’ amusing. Art director and father, Martin Bruckner (Spaghetti Toes) designs pop art out of the sweet or quirky quotes from his cutie pie, Harper, and other little kids. […]
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 […]
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 […]
