Dear Miller’s Ale House in Watertown, I want to take a moment to apologize to you for being bad guests at your restaurant. Let me start by saying that you guys were awesome, my family – not so much. When I came in and said that we’d have a party of four, with two children and in need of a… Read more →

Epic Biggie – Dinosaurs Mashup
Epic is all that can be said for kids of the 80’s.
Dad of the year… er, winter
So, if you haven’t been following along from home <spoiler alert>, this winter has sucked in New England. Not only was there over 100 inches of snow, but a lot of ice and cold that would make Jon Snow turn away from the Wall. With that said, winter is still a magical time for kids of all ages, especially when… Read more →
DIY Roof Rake
Let’s face it – this winter has sucked. In the Boston area, we have seen 7 feet of snow in just three weeks. Home supply stores have seen their shelves stripped bare – kind of like the supermarkets with milk and bread prior to any storm.

Field Guide – Should I Vaccinate My Child #science
BeanStalk Adventure Ropes – Reading, MA
As you may have hear, the state of Massachusetts got a lot of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday. While many folks headed back to work, my son’s preschool was closed, so we had a home day. Instead of adding to our cabin fever, I decided that we would do an adventure and tossed the decision over to Megatron. Option one… Read more →
Nick Jr. Wins Snow Day & Juno Real Time Marketing
When we were still hunkered down under Juno’s mass dumping of snow, I received an email from Nick Jr. that was not only well timed, but also offered a creative outlet to cure cabin fever (if only we had a printer) titled Snow DAY! Now overall, I prefer Sprout for our kids over Nick Jr., but some of their shows… Read more →
