Thanksgiving With A Toddler

theincredidad November 28, 2019 0 Comments
Today is the big kick off of the holiday season. For most of us, it will be the first inevitable family gathering of the season. Since this could set the tone for how public outings go for your toddler over the next month, it might be important to pull some tools out of your utility belt to help you both survive until the new year.  Spoken from childhood experience, Thanksgiving break is…

Picture Day

theincredidad October 6, 2019 1 Comments
Day care sent home a letter that Picture day is next week. Now maybe it's because we have cameras on our phones these days but I started asking myself, do I really need that? Don't I have three hundred pictures of Boy Wonder in the same pose already? "Oh look! There's another one of him sleeping. I'm sorry I don't have any recent ones, this is from a month ago. He looks totally different now."…

"Well I'll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation...it's a quest. It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun! We're all gonna have so much f***in' fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our damn smiles! You'll be whistling Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah out of your assholes!!!!"- Clark Griswold, National Lampoon's Vacation Yesterday, I packed the car for what will not be…

Our San Franciscan Day

You probably figured we’d be halfway across the country by now, huh? Surprise! We are still in the same state we started, only eight hours North. We wanted to visit Bex’s side of the family for a few days. It's been a lot of fun. Of course I love spending time with family but I always look forward to a day in San Francisco. It’s on my list of Top 10 Favorite Cities in the world. Here’s…

A House Is Not A Home

We moved out of our apartment today. After weeks of packing, trashing, and cleaning, this was a really big deal for us. Obviously it was not as big of a deal for our landlord who never showed up for our move-out appointment. Martha, if you’re reading this, we left the keys and garage remote on the kitchen counter. Good bye and good luck! Maybe you remember me describing our apartment two years…

Product Review – O’Neill Baby Life Jacket

theincredidad August 14, 2019 0 Comments
O'Neill Wake Waterski Infant USCG Vest I don't do product reviews often and **disclaimer** this is an unpaid endorsement. That being said, this life jacket is amazing and I'll tell you why. Boy Wonder hated the pool when we went on vacation this past February. I'm talking crocodile tears, shaking, and all. He put up with the kiddie pool at the waterpark in July but there were still plenty of…

Don’t Lie Or I’ll Tell Santa

theincredidad August 5, 2019 0 Comments
Every parent lies to their kid and that is a fact. But I like to think of it as acting. In my humble opinion, if any casting agent witnessed the performances I've turned in to my kid, they'd have me on Broadway, Motion Pictures, maybe even Netflix! When I read "Car, Car, Truck, Jeep" for the five hundredth time, I still pretend like it's my first. Boy Wonder watched me pee in the toilet the…

Oprah’s Got Nothing On Me

theincredidad August 3, 2019 0 Comments
I feel a lot like Oprah this week. And the movers get a thousand dollars! The auto-hauler gets a thousand dollars! Whoops there goes another thousand just for funsies! As I spend my meager fortune far faster than I ever made it, I'm starting to wonder why we have so much crap. When I moved to California almost a decade ago, I had three boxes and an iPod packed into the back of my SUV. That was…

Choose Your Own Adventure

theincredidad July 30, 2019 3 Comments
For me, there is nothing more stressful than finishing a chapter of a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. Two-Face has Robin dangling over a vat of acid. You only have time to save Boy Wonder or catch the crook. Do you: a) Throw your batarang to slice through Robin's ropes, or b) Tackle Two-Face and deliver him to Commissioner Gordon. Uh...can't I do both? Why isn't that an option? Won't Robin be…

Updated Resume and CV

Dear Selection Committee Of My Future Career, Being an IncrediDad is by far the most rewarding career I've ever had but even Bruce Wayne needed a day job. The last time I had to update my resume and cover letter, Barrack Obama was still serving his first term as President of the United States, The Office was in it's eighth season, my car was still new, and I had a thirty-four inch waist. I'm not…
