New shelving system, labeled bins, everything has a place. Took a picture and sent it to my dad because I was genuinely proud. This is what my life has come to. But also - if anyon
Grabbed one of the 32oz Hydro Flasks on sale at Target last week and man, this thing is a game changer. Coffee stays hot for like 8 hours, so I'm not chugging lukewarm sludge by 10
Cool cool cool. So I found out yesterday that my son figured out how to get to TikTok on my iPad and has been watching god knows what for the past week while I thought he was watch
Real talk - my 6yo is doing soccer (which requires me to sit in the sun on Saturday mornings) and my 9yo is in basketball (Tuesday and Thursday evenings, plus a game on Saturday mo
We're trying to cut back on subscriptions (have like 8 right now which is ridiculous). My 5yo likes Bluey and my 11yo is into Percy Jackson type stuff. Which one would you keep? W
Found it on my desk this morning. Just said "i love you dad you are nice to me." Zero punctuation, wonky letters, probably took him 20 minutes. I've been thinking about it all day.
Why are we spending $300+ on a 5-year-old's party? I'm not judging people who do it but we just did Chuck E Cheese and it was $40 and the kids had a blast. My daughter asked for a

This is embarrassing but my 6yo asked me today what I do at work and I literally sat there trying to explain financial systems auditing to a first grader. Just kept saying "um... n
My 4yo has watched the Pool episode like 47 times. Not exaggerating. She asks for it by name every single morning. Don't get me wrong, it's a quality show and keeps her entertained
Looking for recommendations. My 7yo's current lunch box is falling apart and the latch broke. Don't need anything fancy, just something that keeps food from getting demolished in t
Every single night right before bed my 2yo decides to jump from pillow to pillow screaming "LAVA LAVA" and it's somehow the funniest thing that's ever happened to her. Wife and I a
So our 3yo was doing great. Like genuinely great. Been using the potty for solid 2 months. New baby sister arrived 4 weeks ago and suddenly we're back to accidents daily. I KNOW th
Took the family to Marcello's off Maple Ave in Springfield last week (been open like 8 months) and genuinely had one of the best meals I've had in years. Homemade pasta, sauce that
This has been going on for months. We'll put socks on him, he tears them off immediately. We've tried different brands, textures, colors... nothing works. He says they "feel funny.
Spent $400 on a new John Deere push mower today. Our lawn looks like a war zone right now - my wife finally put her foot down about the overgrown mess. Hopefully this investment me
Used to run half marathons in my 20s. Tried to do a 5k loop yesterday at 35 with 20 extra pounds and two kids. Made it 2 miles before my knees were begging me to stop. My 7yo on hi
I know everyone complains about it but honestly I kinda look forward to the 15 minute drive where my kids tell me about their day before they get bored and start fighting. It's lik
