Took my 6 and 8 year old to Whole Foods yesterday because I needed specific stuff for meal prep. I was there for maybe 20 minutes. TWENTY MINUTES. I left with $180 in groceries I d
Been thinking about getting a few dads together to maybe pitch some ideas to our city parks dept about updating the equipment at Riverside Park. It's pretty beat up and the kids de

I've decided to stop doing my teenage son's laundry. Not as punishment or anything - he's 14, he can figure it out. First week he wore the same hoodie 5 days straight. Second week,
One of my clients had some extras and gave them to us. Dude. My son is going CRAZY about it. We're going to drive down to Minneapolis and make it a whole thing - staying overnight,
