Every holiday season, we shop for our kids, our family and our friends, but let’s admit it, we’re pretty frigging interested in what we might get. There are so many rad things! Gotta look out for number one, even if we’re not supposed to say that. Hmmmm… Ah ha! What if there were a way […]
[ click the image to enlarge ] Even non-parents who hold babies like they were ticking bombs will admit that the little wiggly jigglies smell like fresh-baked rainbows. But any fragrance can be made into a funk-grance with the wrong additives. I think the poet Keats once wrote, “Even a flower’s sweetest whiff wilts in […]
This little girl is the sassiest, raddest user of sign language I’ve ever seen. As the YouTube description explains: “This five year old K.O.D.A,- Kid Of Deaf Adults- Claire Koch, added the correct sign language and clearly pronounced the words so her parents could enjoy her Christmas Pageant.” Watch for yourself! Warning: ONIONS MAY BE […]
Most everyone is familiar with Public Service Announcements (PSAs). Back in the ’50s they taught useful things like ducking down and covering your head with your arms to ensure survival from an atomic blast, or that women are a distracting and deadly menace to the workplace… um… okay, those were probably horrifically misleading, but later […]
We were so unprepared before Finn’s birth. His room was in disarray and we were in the middle of packing the hospital bag when vaj-agra falls happened. In less than fours hours, we had a baby boy in our arms. This time I wanted to buy all of the things, not just to be ready […]
I cannot even believe this. This is amazing. A kazoo even? My God. Even if you’re not a fan of or familiar with Depeche Mode’s Everything Counts, it’s okay. This is sung in the international language of Rad, in the key of WEEEEEEEEE. If your brain doesn’t melt, your heart will. Or both. If neither […]

[CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE] FROM THE ARTIST, CHRIS HALLBECK: “While my wife puts the baby to bed each night, I get to handle the bedtime routine with our 5-year-old. After story time we turn the lights out and talk. Mainly, we talk about the day. Things he did, stuff that was fun, what he learned. […]
Most physicians will say things like, “tell me if this hurts.” Kids will tell you when to say it hurts and when to say it doesn’t hurt. Whether it does or not in actuality. They know best when they’re trying to fix you. So, shush your face. I think kids are generally sweet-natured, but throw […]
Children have an incredible ability. They can see whatever they want to see. Much like politicians. When they look at molehills, they see mountains.
