Children is the broader term for infants, toddlers and tweens. These posts are about children of all ages.

A dog, toddler and dirty diapers meet in a bar

I’m on the sofa at 6:20 p.m.   My body has a pounding ache; head is pulsing and there is an immediate need for something relaxing.  SyFy is On Demand, so I find Fact or Faked and watch the gentle sexually tension between Jael, Lanisha and the rest of the cast as they debunk viral videos.  The day didn’t start with signs of a complete meltdown by most of the living creatures in the house.

Memories for my children and ones that I can’t remember

To be clear, by ‘ones that I can’t remember’ I mean memories, and not children that I’ve forgotten.    My wife used to make fun of me because I don’t remember anything about my childhood.  She is like an elephant in the fact that she remembers tiny details about her life when she was a kid.  The places they’d visit, favorite meals, conversations, holiday traditions-you name it she can probably recall it.

Toydozer cleans up small toys like it is child’s play-Giveaway!

Small toys can be the bane of any parent.  Even though our children are 7 months and 2.8 years old they can create quite the spread out mess of toys.  It’s carnage on a small scale with toy cars, animals, crayons and little trains spread out around the play table.  With any luck these toys are in the same room, more often than not they’re like a trail leading to where the toddler was before bedtime.  Continue reading Toydozer cleans up small toys like it is child’s play-Giveaway!

Ridley Pearson visits Little Shop of Stories, May 3, 7PM

My family and I just returned from Disney Social Media Moms at Walt Disney World.  While I was there I had the opportunity to meet Ridley Pearson and hear him speak about getting kids motivated about reading.  Ridley was a very engaging speaker who effortlessly weaved tales about Dave Barry, 10 foot Pythons and the creative process of writing a book into an entertaining, linear story.  Continue reading Ridley Pearson visits Little Shop of Stories, May 3, 7PM

My wife is a better mom, but I’m a better dad

When I started being a stay at home dad the little things irritated me.  The ‘moms’ club that wouldn’t allow dads for the play dates was annoying and made getting play dates more work.   When store clerks innocently said “so you’re staying home with the kids today?” I’ve simply learned to smile politely and tell them that I do this every day.    Continue reading My wife is a better mom, but I’m a better dad

Children of all ages need tickets to London Olympics, parents outraged

Some of the headlines for the story in the press read “Breastfeeding moms furious…..”, but the decision affects all parents.  If you’ll be going to the London Olympics then you’ll need to purchase a ticket regardless of how old, or young your child is.

If you go to Walt Disney World or take a flight, then the rule is that if they’re 2 or under, they’re free and sitting in your lap.  That’s a great rule.  Continue reading Children of all ages need tickets to London Olympics, parents outraged
