As a former stay-at-home dad, I remember the long stretches of free time in between the feeding, burping, diapering, cooking, cleaning — wait a minute, I had no free time at all! But there were the naps. Baby naps are vital creative moments for a parent. They can be used for practical things like sleep […]
We teamed up with Clorox to tell you some stories of the trials and treats of parenthood. We want them to grow up, it’s our job as parents, but at the same time we soon learn how bitter-sweet it can be. When their tiny little fists let go of our thumbs. When we can’t […]
You know we’re all gonna be doing this for most of… for probably the entire year. Happy New Year! Whichever year it is! Wait… which one is it again?
