5 Photos that Show What Parenting Is ACTUALLY Like

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

We’re teaming up with Clorox to share some of the sweet and sour realities of parenthood.   Imagine if someone was recommending parenthood to you, like a movie recommendation. They might say you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll lay awake sleepless at night (for years probably), you’ll be on the edge of your seat (except you […]

Kids can have some gloriously oddball thoughts. And even when they’re the completely normal variety, the way they put those thoughts into words can be pretty flippin’ amusing.

Cannot Stop Giggling (BABY VIDEO)

Posted under VIDEOTAPE

My brovaries nearly exploded and I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this. It’s never a good idea to over-sell it before you share something funny. “THIS IS SO FUNNY!!!” never made anything funnier. BUT! If you watch this and don’t laugh, say “awwwwwwwwww” or at least crack a smile at some point, I’m very […]

But there were the naps. Baby naps are vital creative moments for a parent. They can be used for practical things like sleep […]



The Heights of Growing Up

Posted under NOTEBOOK

We teamed up with Clorox to tell you some stories of the trials and treats of parenthood.   We want them to grow up, it’s our job as parents, but at the same time we soon learn how bitter-sweet it can be. When their tiny little fists let go of our thumbs. When we can’t […]
