The Day We Did Nothing Together
Last Saturday, Kidzilla and I spent the entire day together. We did exactly nothing together all day. And it was awesome. The Fab Hub went for an extended hike with a friend so Zilla and I were left to our own devices for the day. I thought of all the ways we could possibly spend…
Epic Diaper Fail: A Babyzilla Story
A post inspired by the word diaper? I’ve so got this. There are some family stories that become legendary the moment they happen. They are the stories that are so completely unbelievable, that they simply have to be true. You know the kind – the ones that make people say “wow, you can’t make up stuff…
The Ten Best Meals of Our Marriage
As difficult as this is to narrow down to a mere ten, I was intrigued enough by Stasha’s Monday Listicles topic to enlist the help of the Fab Hub to help me try. This family loves good food and we have had many good meals. But if we had to pick ten of the best…
First Time at a Gig
“I’m so excited,” she said as she bounced around the kitchen. “It’s my first time at a gig.” Zilla helped get dinner ready for the two of us as we prepared to go out and hear her Fab Dad play with his jazz group. In person. Zilla’s heard her dad play before – on videos,…
Brave

This princess, Merida, is reluctant at best. She wants no part of her mother’s arranged marriage plan; when the competition…

Younger, older, shorter, taller, heavier, thinner, dressed for work, dressed in what had to be pajamas…they were all the same. One by one, they dropped off children for the first day of Vacation Bible School. Some came in with the children,…
Why My Wife is Awesome – A Guest Post by Fab Hub
Earlier this month, I wrote a post inspired by a Mama Kat’s prompt about “My Crush” – the Fab Hub. This week, when one of Kat’s prompts was to write fifteen reasons why I am awesome, I suggested to the Fab Hub that he should write that post for me. He did. Please welcome the…
Pinterest Pasta
We need to talk about spaghetti. Because first, everybody loves spaghetti. Am I right? And then, because look at this…
Science with Kidzilla – Planets Edition
Before leaving work today, I called Fab Hub and Kidzilla to let them know I was on my way home. Kidzilla got on the phone… “Uranus, Uranus, Uranus…” Please, God, let my daughter be talking about a planet and not someone’s butt. Amen.
