Old Timey Self-Defense Video + SOUND EFFECTS = Radness!
When I was growing up, I got a false sense of likelihood about child abduction and attacks. With all the TV shows and PSAs that warned about it, I figured every one in my school would be kidnapped or assaulted at one point or another. I’m not saying education isn’t important. My parents tended to […]
My Wife Just Said… #203
“I bought roller skates for myself. But they’re men’s. The women’s were pink and white and I didn’t want to feel 9 years old.” -Elizabeth Every single person who has ever lived, has lived in a “new world.” It’s always changing, always has, and always will. The concepts of stereotypes, gender roles, adulthood, language, […]
“Bed Time” part 2 : Convos With My 4-Year-Old
Telling a made-up story to a little supposed-to-be-asleeper can turn into a serious collaborative effort.

Saturday Morning: With Kids Vs. Without Kids

We partnered up with Gorton’s to bring you this post because we feel your pain, parents. Also because of the bazillions of fish sticks my kids and I have gobbled up. There are all kinds of boot camps to prepare for extreme challenges or achieve difficult goals. Feeding kids clearly fits these points, so […]
Sesame Street’s ‘House of Cards’ Parody Wins My Vote
Have you guys noticed how on point Sesame Street has been about their online content lately? It’s almost disconcertingly good.

My Wife Just Said… #201
“I thought I had a big head, until I met you. Uhhhh… that didn’t come out right.” -Elizabeth While the words that came out of her mouth were a little foot-flavored, they happen to be true. All my sons have big noggins, too. In fact, all the men in my family line seem to […]
Your Certificate of Not Losing Your Sh*t

Adorablized Words: A Guide to Kids’ Pronunciation
Something wonderfully unexpected happened last week. I posted about how my 5yo says pesketti an meapbals, and a crap ton of you shared YOUR OWN kid’s adorablized words.
