The potty training tip that has our 3 year old leaving diaper town

For the record we’re still potty training 3YO Mojo. His potty training started when he was 2 and a half, taking interest in the potty and having so-so results, including dad sleeping on the toilet. 3 months prior to his third birthday he started going #1 with regularity, but the elusive #2 was still not here. It was then that we had good idea that morphed into a great idea. Continue reading The potty training tip that has our 3 year old leaving diaper town

How to plan a Batman Party for children

Batman has always been a staple in pop culture. The person behind the mask has evolved and changed, but kids have grown up with some version of the caped crusader since the 60’s. When I got the opportunity to host a Batman party from BSM Media it agreed with my fan boy sensibilities and my desire to further my child’s interest in one of the great super heroes.

You’d be crazy not to like OH, NUTS! by Tammi Sauer

As a dad, some of the best books that I can read to my children are those that I can enjoy too. I also don’t want there to be too many words and if I can read it without putting my glasses on that’s a plus. With those classifiers in mind, OH, NUTS! is a fabulous book. It’s clever enough to keep adults entertained; the children will love the illustrations and learn a life lesson about being happy.

When should your kids meet Star Wars?

For record, I presume that all children at some point in time will be introduced to Star Wars. Since I was a kid the Star Wars universe has grown a bit. It’s much more than movies, now it’s toys, books (comics!), an eventual theme park and of course the movies. We’re glad that Disney purchased them because it will give the brand a fresh start-and Disney does things on a first class scale. Continue reading When should your kids meet Star Wars?

Psychobaby-truly unique kid’s clothing, review and giveaway

If you’ve seen a kid wearing something unique, hipster or rock and roll it was probably purchased at Psychobaby. They’ve got one of the largest selections we’ve seen of good rock and roll baby clothing that we’ve seen. Of course they have the relative music staples, but they also have AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, KISS and The Ramones. For my wife and I The Ramones have always provided a bonding moment for us.

#1 and #3 of 18 Summers: Curiosity and finding our legs

In May I went to Disney Social Media Moms. It’s a social media conference at Walt Disney World that helps bloggers think, be creative, have fun and meet other family bloggers. Authors, social media folks and a couple of Walt Disney employees all spoke to us on a variety of things. One of the speakers, Amy Foster from Disney Park Insight mentioned “18 summers”.

Little Tikes around my house-and children too

We’re three years into children and like an athlete that starts a new sport we’ve noticed collections starting to appear. There is the collection of balls, all different sizes and colors that go to different toys, but now just end up in a big pile called “Balls”. In another part of the house there’s a box of plastic figures and spread out over the house (and in the garage) are assorted toys from Little Tikes.
