As Dom grows older, his ever-growing cognitive capacity makes him more interesting by the day. Every now and then, he says something that gives me backstage passes into that innocent little brain of his. Generally, it’s incredibly refreshing to see the world through a four year-olds eyes, but tonight Dom said something that left [...]
That, right there to the left, is the bane of my existence: unused baby formula. Babies never drink every bottle in its entirety and over the course of the day this leftover formula adds up. It might be complete corporate bullshit, but every company that makes formula says: if your baby has not finished the bottle, do [...]
When I began writing this post, I set out to chronicle the downward spiral that was Fred Savage’s career. After all, from what I could tell on the surface, his career peaked in the 80s when he tongue-kissed Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years and descended into oblivion after he chose to voice Oswald, the [...]
I have two four month old twins. As a result of this we go through somewhere in the neighborhood of 13,492 bottles every day. As if the injustice of having to pay for the formula to fill those bottles isn’t bad enough, we also use Dr.Brown’s Bottles. For those of you unfamiliar with Dr.Brown’s bottles [...]
Pictured above is a small fraction of Dominic’s toy menagerie, many of which come from the Schleich product line. Are you familiar with these toy animals? There’s a reason why “Schleich” rhymes with “Reich”–they’re both German, and they’re both evil. All are made from heavy-duty plastic and are anatomically correct. That’s right folks, you read [...]

I figured if Andy can bitch about poor product design, I can too. Dear TomTom, I’ve had your GPS for 4 years now and I must say that I truly love your device. I can’t count the number of times when traveling when your device has navigated me through the toughest of directions with ease [...]
Target is a great store, but by making a simple change, they could be much better for parents.
I’m writing tonight about something very near and dear to my heart, and if I ramble on and make no sense, or if you disagree with me, well that’s too damn bad. As you know, I lost my youngest son Jack almost 4 months ago to a rare genetic heart arrythmia, and yesterday my wife [...]
I’m back to give a quick post and an update on the results of the genetic testing that has been done on myself, Lauren and Sam. Unfortunately, our worst nightmare has come true and Sam has the same genetic mutation of Long QT Type 3 that Jack suffered from. Neither Lauren or I suffer from [...]
