The Boubons

Now that we're past Thanksgiving and Christmas is right around the corner, we've entered that five-week stretch I like to call Cold and Flu Season. We all got our flu shots this year, so I thought we were safe, but a strange and mysterious new super-villain has invaded our house. He came without warning and struck hard. His effects are lingering and annoying. His name is The Boubons. His first…

Incredible Leadership Lesson: First Aid Kits

theincredidad November 7, 2018 0 Comments
Today's Incredible Leadership lesson may seem like a no-brainer but it's often overlooked. Incredible leaders keep their teams safe at all times and one of the best ways to do that is by taking some preventative measures. I'm talking about building a First Aid kit. It's the first item that gets strapped onto my utility belt.  A First Aid Kit seems more essential now that Boy Wonder…

The Sesame Effect

How am I supposed to teach my son to embody love when we live in a country that always seems on the brink of a second civil war? Between Twitter wars,  gender politics, President Trump, and race relations, we are living in an age of outrage. How exhausting is that? Thankfully there is still one bright light shining over at PBS that can set a good example for him. Through Sesame Street’s…

Another Super-Power Discovered

Yesterday morning was pretty Incredible. Boy Wonder and I were hanging out in the living room as usual. He was leaning against the wall and I was sitting on the couch. I called out to him, "Come here buddy!", never expecting that he actually would. But then he surprised us both by pushing off the wall and Frankensteining his way over to me. The look on both our faces said it all, "What did you…

Future Engineer – A Student Of His World

theincredidad October 9, 2018 1 Comments
"Quantum Physics For Babies" by Chris Ferrie caught my eye on a recent visit to Target. At first I laughed because this cute board book was masquerading as toddler text book. I've also watched Boy Wonder "read" enough books to know the he would look like a miniature scientist with that in his hand. Then a more serious thought struck me, he already is a miniature scientist and the whole world is…

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…

The One That Got Away

I'm fond of our bed. Bex would be surprised to hear that because I frequently said otherwise about this pile of mattress and metal when we first started dating. It was a love/hate relationship back then.  You see, the bed actually belonged to Bex first. She was so proud of it because it was the first big purchase she made after landing her dream job. During our dating days, she moved no less…

Where Is My Super-Suit?

theincredidad September 19, 2018 1 Comments
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.…

This is your captain speaking. We're cruising at 30,000 feet with blue skies ahead...Hold on...I've just received word that someone has brought a baby on board. Folks buckles in and stay seated. You're in for a rocky flight. After watching the other passengers avoid us like we were diseased, the flight attendants glare at us with weariness in their eyes, I swear that's what I heard over our…
