For Parents: How To Make a SexTape

Posted under NOTEBOOK

In this very modern internet age, we find ourselves compelled to write headlines and dive headlong into topics we mightn’t have penetrated previously. Today, I am THAT guy. I’m going to reveal something about myself you probably you would never have guessed, something so crude it probably never crossed your mind: I have never made […]



“The Crack” : Convos With My 2-Year-Old

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

Having a discussion with your kid about the specifics of words can be priceless, but it’s also difficult. Especially when you’re supposed to be pretending you’re the student and they’re the teacher. And it’s especially especially priceless and difficult when you’re convincing your kid that their butt isn’t broken because it has a crack. Subscribe […]



The Third First Day at School

Posted under NOTEBOOK

My youngest son just had his first day at school. As it turned out, it was so much easier for him than it was for us. You’d think it’d be no big deal, Lucas being my third son, with my two older boys having been in school for nearly a decade. Nope. You’d be wrong. […]



My Kid Just Said… #48

Posted under "MY KID JUST SAID..."

“We should rename Arden. His new name should be Squeaky Cheeks.” -Finn (2014, 4.5 years old)  Coming up with Arden’s name was pretty difficult. I think choosing boys’ names is actually harder than choosing a girl’s for some reason. Not sure why exactly, but there’s so much history with a boy’s name for me. I […]



Parenterms: “Fridgetful”

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Parents know that they can often have memory issues, even if they can’t remember exactly how they even know this… uh… what was I saying? Something something… memory issues then… uh… whatever. Must not have been important. Sure, in addition to the fridge, there are tons of other “why the heck did I come here” […]

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

All my sons have “cooked” for me and I totally did this with my mom, too. One of my creations had cat food in it. I think I got off lucky with the things I’ve been bullied with cuteness into tasting.

My Kid Just Yelled… #47

“No! I can’t be quiet!! I HASTA BE WEALLY, WEALLY WOUD WIGHT NOW!!!” -Lucas (2014, 4.5 years old)  Um. Can you say it again in my other ear? The one that’s not bleeding. Or was that just an impression of a velociraptor being tortured while laying an egg? There’s no way around it. You’ve just […]



This 5-Year-Old Roars After Cancer

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

Something I’ve never told people before… I’ve always wanted to be a pop star. Big time. Like Justin Bieber without all the doucheness. Usher without any of the dance moves. Justin Timberlake without the… um… something. There are so few pop stars to look up to these days and it’s hard to get inspired to […]



Beware of Bad Parentexting

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

The days have passed when VCRs blinked 12:00 as a signal to one and all that technology had gotten ahead of its owner and they didn’t know how to set the clock. Ironically, this is a timeless theme, though. Cavekids probably rolled their eyes under their jutting brows as they watched their parents use a […]

Today I wanted to ask you guys for a few things. And since it’s my birthday, you’ll listen. Right? ITEM #1: […]
