Meals You Know By Heart

When Boy Wonder started eating real food, Bex and I agreed that we wanted him to eat healthier than we do, but why? The plan was to raise him as a "flexitarian". That meant mostly fruits and veggies, some meat, and limited refined sugars. Our diet is mainly meats, some veggies, and lots of junk food. I don't feel so Incred-ble writing that last thought. Spend five minutes with me and I'll tell…

Coffee vs. Red Bull vs. Water

Day 336 - Boy Wonder is still not sleeping through the night.  To get us through those rough nights and groggy mornings, IncrediMom and Dad need a power boost. We each have our poisons. I brew a rich, steaming hot, cup of coffee while Bex reaches for an ice cold can of Red Bull Blue Edition. Somehow, we still end up arguing over who is more tired. So I decided that the most scientific way to…

Where Is My Super-Suit?

Batman has his cowl. Superman wears his tights. James Bond slips into a tuxedo like it's his second skin. Indiana Jones never loses his hat. The Incredidad wears a tee-shirt and shorts. All of these men have three things in common: They've all saved the world from time to time. They have their own version of a super suit. They all get the girl. Moral of the story is - Women love a man in uniform.…

Tips For Flying With A Baby – Part 1

Your Pre-Flight Check List If the CIA really wanted to get their terrorist suspects to talk, they should force them to take a long flight with a baby on their lap. That kind of unconstitutional torture is exactly what Bex and I willingly submitted too last month. If I had any State Secrets to share, I would gladly have sung like a canary after those flights. So if you're thinking about going on a…

Acting Like A Super Villain

Bex, if you're reading this, stop now. Just close it. X out and go do something else. If any other Incredi-Reader is near her, please take her phone and throw it out the window because we all know she's not going to listen me. Waiting...waiting...Okay is she gone? Good. Today I'm going to talk about a major flaw of mine and I don't want her getting ideas that I am anything less than perfect. But…

Daddy’s Test Kitchen: Avocado 2 Ways

Up until a few months ago, I had never eaten an avocado in my life. I've been told that's a sin in Southern California. So after seven years of living out here I finally broke down and tried one. It was among the tastiest fruits I've ever had. Avocado is light, versatile, and you don't have to cook it. All of those reasons made it the perfect food to snack on during our massive heatwave this…

IncrediDads: Top 5 Superhero Dad Quotes

While the greatest heroes seem to stand tall on their own, there is usually a pretty strong father figure who helped pull them to their feet in the first place. We can learn a lot from dad figures like Alfred Pennyworth, Jor-El, Uncle Ben, Joe West, Thomas Wayne. The thought came to me as I've been helping Boy Wonder pull himself up on his own feet. I realized that I've never paid much attention…

Time Flies

Now that we are half-a-year into this adventure, I think I'm finally ready to admit something. Time always seems to be the one thing I can't get enough of. Coincidentally, it's also something that won't go by fast enough. From the beginning, time was the IncrediDad's arch enemy. It didn't seem like there was enough time to prepare ourselves for the major lifestyle change our bundle of joy was…
