Hi there! Noah here. Hold on a minute. Let me get my camera adjusted right. Okay. That’s better. So I have some really sad news. The Servant Who Calls Herself Mommy left me. And even worse than that?? She Took The Daddy with her. It’s really a bummer, because I’ve really gotten to where I […]
That’s Because Daddies Fix Everything.
Hi! I hope that you’re not even reading my blog right now because you’re relaxing so deeply at the pool or beach. I’m still in syndication here, but if you want to read something completely new, I’ve recently guest-blogged a couple of times for my friend Wade at Birmingham Blogging. They’re pretty geektastic, so read […]
Photobooth.
My kids are four years apart. That makes me fairly strange in my demographic, but I’m cool with it. (I actually love it and think it is THE WAY TO GO, but don’t tell my friends I said that.) I get to experience two completely different realms at once…especially in cognitive development. Ali’s current mental […]
The Pro List.
You may have noticed that last week wasn’t exactly my best week ever. Between The Sister Wife Causing Me Drama, Noah’s Intense and Long-Lasting Illness, Chris and I both have bouts of thinking we were getting the Dread Disease at one time or another, and oh yeah, this: The kid has only injured herself, […]
On Being Male.
Hi! Noah Here. So I guess you’ve been missing my guest posts, right? Right?? Well, I’ve been busy. Busy trodding down a path of an existential proportions, contemplating the meaning of life…as a boy. I’ve largely had to figure it out on my own, since The Sister Who Calls Herself Ali doesn’t even know the […]

Regarding Those That I Mother.
As a blogger, I find myself quite self-conscious about not drowning my corner of the internet with vast quantities of photos of my kids. Despite the fact that I have really cute ones. (Am I allowed to say that?) But you know what? Yesterday was Mother’s Day. And the day before that, I wrote. About […]
Parenthood 2.0
Dear Tech Support, I recently upgraded my software to Boy Child 1.0. I’m also running Girl Child 5.0 and was previously running Boy Child 0.11 without incident, but upgrading to 1.0 seems to be causing some conflicts. Boy Child 1.0 is constantly overrunning Girl Child 5.0’s processes, creating both programs to either freeze up or […]
Grounded For Life.
This kid is grounded. Consider these symptoms: For our entire vacation last week, he walked around with his finger jammed in his right ear. …Or if he wasn’t doing that, he was shaking his head out to the right, as if he was desperately trying to knock loose a gallon of water from within the […]
Lessons Learned on Easter, Volume Two.
(Last year’s lessons can be found here.) 1. One Year Old Boys have no appreciation for being dragged into the living room by their sister first thing in the morning. … Until they see that there’s something in it for them. They they’re completely on board. …Until they realize they can’t open it on their […]
