Easter Bunny: Not A Voracious Child-Gobbling Monster
Here’s a quick recap of our Easter experience, before the Internet’s ruthlessly short attention span makes it irrelevant and uninteresting. My father-in-law made reservations at a nice restaurant. He’s rad. When we walked into the place, he got even radder. Fountains, pillars, marble floors, this was gonna be yummy! Lizzie whispers to me “Oh, by […]

Something Weird This Way Hops

Parental Crossing Sign
You’ve seen the pleasant Pedestrian Crossing signs where the silhouettes of a man and a woman move across some black lines. He gallantly holds the arm of the woman and they both have neat little bags in their arms, probably laptops they’ll whip out at the local Starbucks. They’re pedestrians, it’s what they do. […]
Parent Proofing
I’m alright with some basic baby proofing. For those of you without babies (and a low IQ) this has nothing to do with birth control. Cabinet locks are great for anyone who doesn’t want their kid freshening up their breath with Raid bug spray, sure. And some stick-on foam for the sharp corners of a […]

Hypo-mom-dria (The Hypochondria of Mothers)
[ click the image to enlarge ] A study on a mother’s (especially a first-timer’s) reality versus perception. A mother’s hypochondria: hypo-mom-dria. Let’s take a look inside the heads of some moms (and sometimes dads) when confronted with childhood illnesses and injuries. Don’t misunderstand, mothers are rad and this is not a slight on them. […]
