Best Friends
Who wants to get kicked right in the feels? Pucker up… While I’m not certain everyone would agree that being a friend is the same thing as being a dad, and believe me there is a semantic, overly-worded debate there that will never end — I love the subtlety of the moments in this video. […]
Our Epic Play Date
We aren’t the types to use the word YOLO in a sentence, let alone all by itself, but when we were asked to invent and lead an activity for 200 people at Hyundai’s “Epic Play Date” event just outside Santa Barbara, we knew we had to do something EPIC. YOLO. You only live once. To […]
Happy Birthday Two Me
Today is my birthday so I wanted to let you all know about the gift I really want this year: Healthy. Balls. That’s right. Today is the day my testicles were born, so I’ve decided to throw them a small, slightly egg-shaped birthday party. It’s a joint party, of course, so it needn’t be spectacular. […]
My Kid Just Said… #22
“You taste like a clean pretzel.” -Finn (April 2013, 3.5 years old) This was after my son licked his mama’s face… First, what? Second, what does a dirty pretzel taste like? Third, how does my son know the difference? So many stories to get to the bottom of… ““ Previous My Kid Just Said Love […]
Worth A Trip: Walt Disney Family Museum with #MonstersUEvent
Back in 2009, two awesome things happened: 1. My son was born. 2. The Walt Disney Family Museum was born. These two births probably had a lot of wide eyes and screaming. Right? And like my son, this museum is not like other museums. It’s not the boring ‘field trip with a monotone docent half-falling […]

So, I found this over the weekend. I don’t want to color your opinion of it beforehand, so I’ll just let you watch and then we can chat… Of course, we don’t actually know this man and the whole story to his life, so making broad generalizations about him is petty. But I would like […]
The Green-Eyed Monster: A Tour of Pixar & Monster University
Remember when I said I was going to Monsters University on the prestigious Disney-Pixar campus? I know. You were probably studying super hard for your Scare 101 finals and had 13 cups of coffee, but dudes, it was awesome. At first, the thought of going back to college was a bit troubling. I didn’t have […]

Tasers for Kids
I rarely, if ever, give a full-fledged piece of parenting advice. I’m not a fan of “the authority” or specialists or people telling me how to live my life, but I think it’s time I finally take a dip in the “this is how you do it” parenting pool. It’s a dirty pool, by the […]
My Kid Just Said… #21
“Mama, I’m your son. Son is a different word for love.” -Finn (April 2013, 3.5 years old) Sometimes, the simplicity of youth can trump even the greatest mind of those elders who’ve seen it all. Kids can and do say things that shine like stars. If you’re not paying attention, these truths will slip past […]
