“Fashion” : Convos With My 2-Year-Old
When it comes to judging, kids often employ excessive force that amounts to fashion-police brutality. If you’re uncertain or insecure about how you look or what you’re wearing, and also enjoy the high-stakes excitement of playing Russian Roulette, then just ask a child what they think of your outfit. They may simply say it’s the […]
Missing Pieces, Part 1
A few readers have asked for the story of how my wife and I met. We’ve discussed aspects of it here and in interviews with legitimate websites/journalists (unlike the site you are now on). But it all started with the Internet. So let’s travel back in time, shall we? The year was 1993 and I […]
Ninja Parent Lessons: The Foot Python
Suiting up your little one is a tough challenge, even for ninjas. Especially socks. Those legs are tiny, but they’re fast and don’t like to stay still for lengths of time greater than it takes to blink. This cannot be avoided, so you must be clever and fast.

#FatBellyFriday ““ 32 Weeks
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. We didn’t make it to full term with Finn and we wouldn’t have been pregnant with our little treat in Avara’s belly during Halloween, but this time we overlap with it.

If something is worth asking to be done over and over and over again, it’s worth doing right. Right? The first time. Not after […]

A Little Girl’s Book of Poshens
Everyone knows kids look at the world through the magical lens of youth, but some of them document what they see. As a kid I was a poshen maker, too, so I was able to withstand the adorableness unharmed when a friend of mine posted pictures of her 6yo daughter’s book of potions…ehem “Poshens”. I […]
Unfidelity
Pregnancy is a sensitive time. A couple can fall even more deeply in love during the experience and yet there are factors that often come between the two people. There can be a profound closeness as well as an intense loneliness. Mistakes can be made in the spaces, those absences. Painful. Mistakes. Today, I’m here […]
