January 4, 2010

Is it me or are some parents (usually moms dictate these terms) overly rigid with their kids’ napping schedules?  I don’t mean to knock moms trying to do right by their kids, because I realize that some kids are completely off the wall if they miss their nap for the day or something, but there [...]

A Truly Priceless Gift for Your Child – DIY 1st Year Baby Video

November 27, 2009

With our kids off from school today, my wife put on a movie for the boys (5 and 3), but it wasn’t Disney and it wasn’t the usual cartoon fair.  She put one of the 1-year birthday videos I made for each sons just prior to their first birthday.  Even after seeing it several times, [...]

October 10, 2009

In this economy, virtually all families are looking for ways to shave costs off their daily living expenses.  Well, now that we have another little one in the house and she’s progressing into foods, my wife started the routine again of making Samantha’s baby food instead of buying it.  When she did this with our [...]

Books can be Deceiving

September 29, 2009

My wife sure can pick ‘em.  She took the kids to the library and the kids wanted a book on whales.  They love whales and nature.  I was reading it to them tonight and it started to get more and more graphic.

Indulging Your Kids’ Love of Insects, Dinosaurs or Whatever

September 10, 2009

We’ve found that our 5-year old tends to become obsessive over various interests.  I don’t know if this is normal since he’s our first, or whether Kevin has an abnormally obsessive personality.  After enduring the same 3 notes of “Carol of the Bells” on his toy piano over and over for hours, days, weeks on [...]

What are Those Kids Texting? A Parents’ Guide

Kids’ Birthday Party at Home or Out – Which is Better?

July 9, 2009

Now that we’ve hosted several birthday parties between our two boys, I started comparing the pros and cons of doing home birthday parties vs. parties hosted at places like a “Bounce-U”, bowling, etc.  What I’ve determined is that based on your priorities, the distinction is pretty clear.

While it can get kind of expensive hosting [...]

Flushing Toys Down the Toilet – Punishment Time

May 24, 2009

So, we were visiting some friends yesterday and they have a 3 1/2 year old.  Our son, who just turned 5 has been getting punished for being naughty (for a few years now of course, but he’s changed tactics), has now resorted to telling his little brother to do naughty things, with the thinking that [...]
