I was browsing Tumblr the other day, and came across a post that blew my mind. Someone had written out lies they’d heard people told kids when they were little. Yikes. Some of these are beyond nuts. In my weaker moments, I’ve fast tracked the truth and sanded down some edges on reality. Do you […]
Meet Anton (YouTube user Toxa Avdeyev) and his adorable son. He drifts. Anton, not his son. And not “drift” like a cowboy in a Western who blows into one-horse towns with a 6-shooter and no sh*ts to give. He drifts as in driving his race car around like a feisty kitten tearing around on freshly-waxed […]
Parenting can feel a little duplicitous sometimes. You tell your kids to get sleep, and then you don’t. You tell them to eat certain vegetables when you can’t stand them. You tell them there are no more cookies, but secretly you’ve hidden a stockpile for yourself so huge, the IRS is going to come knocking. […]
This How We Family post is sponsored by Tylenol. We’ve been talking about getting a family pet for years. I was the hold out. I love pets, but after weighing everything I just didn’t feel a strong enough… want. Maybe my family pet cup had long ago runneth over? Growing up, my house had […]
“We are NOT naming the dog ‘Zombie Laser’!” ““Elizabeth VOTE ON OUR NEW DOG’S NAME BELOW! (No joke) We’ve been talking about getting a family pet for years, and we finally decided to not let our dreams be dreams and JUST DO IT, to get a family dog. We’re getting him today actually! A […]
A small boy with matted brown hair and small, painted blue eyes sat on a shelf looking out a window into the night sky. The black expanse above him stretched as far as all of his dreams stacked end to end. The boy tugged on his marionette strings and felt their threads pulling on his […]
I’ve seen some touching, beautifully-captured photos of the rising dawn of a pregnant woman’s belly. Apparently so has imgur.com user druishprincess69, who took pregnancy photos into his own hands… or um… his own belly. You see, when his wife said she didn’t want to do maternity photos, he hired a photographer and posed for MANternity […]
We’ve been spending a bit more time on Vine, Periscope (@HowToBeADad) and Instagram lately. Facebook was fun and then someone decided you shouldn’t be able to see all of our posts. Twitter is getting a little muddy, and they can’t even decide on a CEO. Google+ might or might not be going away. So that […]
You may have already realized, we’re not cavemen anymore. We’ve come a long way from rubbing sticks together spastically or throwing bones into the air like we just don’t care. We’ve got apps for that. What you may not have realized, is that we no longer need to cruelly limit ourselves to the rare times […]
My son starts kindergarten in less than two weeks. I’m feeling a little pantspoopingly nervous about it, if I’m being honest. The worst part is when I look for resources on preparing for Kindergarten, the articles usually state or start with “stay calm.” I WAS ALMOST CALM UNTIL YOU SAID THAT. Those articles with lists […]
