You Don’t Have to Cook S’mores Like a Caveman
You may have already realized, we’re not cavemen anymore. We’ve come a long way from rubbing sticks together spastically or throwing bones into the air like we just don’t care. We’ve got apps for that. What you may not have realized, is that we no longer need to cruelly limit ourselves to the rare times […]
Family Dinner – Fowl Language Comics
Fowl Language Comics I really don’t understand this whole “raising children” thing. I use the “air quotes” because it feels like my version of parenting is false and just wrong. My older son is a VERY picky eater and the subject of fruits and vegetables is so contentious that I am almost at the […]
Baby Food Bullying
We’re bummed out. A rad company is being bullied in the media with sensationalistic finger-pointing and it’s starting to remind us of a toddler screaming at a cool toy for no reason.
