Pretty self-explanatory. These are pictures. Sometimes they’ve got words and sentences and all that jazz, but they’re mainly posts of visually-driven stuff.

Elmo… Can He Be Trusted?

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Maybe if you play “La la la la! This is the song!” backwards, you’ll hear some sinister secret message. Maybe not. For some, it’s sinister all by itself, played normally. Whatever your feelings about Elmo are, you have to admit he looks pretty creepy here. Which funny enough raises a legitimate question… Who are you […]



Top 2 Reasons You Don’t Have Nice Things Anymore…

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Years ago I bought a leather executive chair that was blonde-colored. Within a week, Cody (at age 6!) wrote Xuck on it (he missed the top line in the F). He used permanent marker and scrawled it in large letters on the broad expanse of the chair’s back. Amid feeling super bummed and being totally […]



The @pocalypse Has Arrived

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

The apocalypse is here. Right now! While you’re reading this, this very second. It’s happening… #happeningrightnow Probably everyone reading this grew up with TV. And probably had a “whaaaaaaatever” response to the phrase “it’ll rot your brain.” I did. And my brain is not rotten. At least let’s pretend it isn’t for argument’s sake. Anyways… […]



You are mother. We hear you roar.

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

With a world driven by image and perfection and unattainable Photoshopped standards of beauty, it’s uncomfortable for us to imagine the magnitude of what a woman may feel she had to “sacrifice” by “ruining her body” in order to have a baby. The statement in this picture offers a different way to think about it […]



They Say Daughters Are “Easier” than Sons

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

I’ve heard it said that daughters are “easier” than sons. Quite a few times actually, and now that I think about it, I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anybody tell me it the other way around, at least not with any real believability. I’m not sure what part about raising daughters is supposed to be […]



Dude Time

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

There’s something undeniably special about it. The kind of “special” that anyone looks at, whether they have kids or not, and says to themselves, “Ohmygod! THAT is special, right there. Wow! Right!?!” Yes. Dude time. In this crazy world with its breakneck pace, the time you get to just sit back, relax and hang out […]



Christmas Tree… Dog???

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

You can do something so right… that it becomes wrong. Right? But maybe it’s not wrong. Hmmmmm. People can go crazy on the holidays. Christmas trees so tall that they bend over under a ceiling, like Shaquille O’Neal in a VW. And maybe there are some menorahs around with so much chutzpah that they can […]



Breastfeeding…

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Photo by: Daughter of the Sun Um, so… We don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but we’re pretty sure it involves breastfeeding. And that it’s all natural. Maybe too natural? Or something. Sorry, I was looking at the photo again. Um… Anyway, we didn’t put a punchline or caption specifically so you could come […]

Homemade Birthday Cards 2004: Max’s 4th / Cody’s 6th

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Cody’s Sixth Birthday: 2004 Max’s Third Birthday: 2004 To recap: I make birthday cards for each year my boys. Lucas (2), Max (11), Cody (13). As they got older, I started designing them around what seemed to rock their socks off. I was thrilled the year Cody turned 6 and Max 4 and they were […]



“What is that thing on your face, Daddy!?!”

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

  “What is that thing on your face, Daddy!?!” is what I hear my son, Lucas, thinking every time he comes at the camera I’m shooting him with. It’s got buttons, lights and it makes curious noises from time to time. And I put it up to my face. How could I blame him for […]
