Because he was outstanding in his field! 馃尵 My kids groaned so hard. Mission accomplished.
My 4yo has decided broccoli, peas, spinach, literally anything green is basically poison. We've tried the usual stuff - dipping sauce, mixing it in, calling it "dinosaur food" what
Finally got some peace and quiet Sunday night after the kids went down and binged like 4 episodes. Forgot what it was like to watch something where I'm not worried about explaining
Every. Single. Night. Bedtime is 10pm, and at 9:57 one of my boys (6 or 8, they rotate) suddenly needs water so badly that their throat is apparently closing up. If I say no he act
"Yes, you still need to brush your teeth." "Yes, even if you brushed them yesterday." "No, rinsing with water doesn't count." "Because cavities hurt and cost money." I'm convinced
I get it, I'm old school. But there's something nice about Saturday morning with the kids watching their shows while I make pancakes and coffee. No rushing, no screaming about bein

Our second kid is almost here and I'm looking at ways to keep my hands free. Saw a ton of reviews online but they're all over the place. Did you buy the expensive one or go with so
This is driving me insane. My 5-year-old daughter ate mac and cheese literally twice a week for two years. Now she won't touch it. Says it "looks weird" now. Same with chicken nugg
So I've been into woodworking for about 5 years now. Nothing serious, just a garage setup, but I spend maybe 8-10 hours a week out there. Recently my wife mentioned that the kids (
Found one on Facebook Marketplace for half off, guy had barely used it. Spent like $300 fixing some minor stuff. Since then I've cooked brisket, salmon, ribs... everything comes o
My 11yo came home from school yesterday and handed me a drawing he made in art class. It was me and him at our favorite fishing spot from two summers ago. I only took him once beca
Spent 3 weekends researching, comparing reviews, and annoying my wife with endless questions. Ended up going with a Traeger Timberline 850. Set it up last Saturday and made some ri
Remember when I posted about starting sourdough like 3 weeks ago? Well I haven't killed it yet. First loaf is in the oven right now and it actually looks like bread, not a dense br
My oldest is starting K in the fall. He's been to preschool so he's not completely new to the school environment, but I'm wondering how to make it less overwhelming? Should we visi
My son won't stop talking about T-Rex vs Triceratops. Like, he's legitimately trying to correct me on pronunciation of "Parasaurolophus" and I had to Google it to verify he was rig
