You have tiny people relying on you for everything. So, relying on […]
When you can casually browse the internet and see pictures of kids in other countries horking down grilled tarantulas like it was eight-legged candy, or see them slorping up spicy curry dishes that you’d need to freeze a roll of toilet paper to endure the after-effects of eating, it can make you wonder how in […]
The chances are very high you’ve seen one or several Re-imaginings of Disney Princesses that the Internet has churned out. I ran across a really nutty one, got curious and discovered so many I hadn’t seen. Bearded Princesses? Hot Dog Princesses? Bowl of Water Pricesses!?! But I had to do a lot of searching, and […]
Do you suffer from a case of “Dad Hands”? If you’ve tried to button little baby buttons on a baby’s onesie then you know the flushed anger and terror of trying to slip a tiny circle inside of a tiny opening with a writhing worm child. It’s the worst. So, as this father has put […]
It all started when I discovered some pencil graffiti on the side of the house. My little boy was so afraid he’d get in trouble, he may have said that a squirrel drew it or something, he was 4 after all. So it was a surprise for him, when I said they were amazing and […]

Occasionally, a parent-to-be will come and ask me for advice about parenting. Crazy, right? They’re so focused on what could happen or what to do, they miss one of the most important elements of the whole process. It’s not for lack of trying or thoughtfulness, but most of us start off with a mindset that […]
The world would be a much better place if we all had the patience and forgiveness of most dogs. It’s positively amazing the crap they can endure and come through with their irrepressible, tail-wagging cheerfulness. Babies and kids are a true test of most living things, and our four-legged friends seem to pass the test […]
There are few things cuter than kids attempting something and failing. But when that kid is in full uniform and performing martial arts? CUTENESS OVERLOAD. I’ve loved watching my son do karate. Many Saturdays and Sundays have been spent watching him flail around kicking and punching the air with infectious enthusiasm. So, if you need […]
