This is a fun activity you can do with your toddler. My son here, did not like touching the grass…

… about being a less than perfect parent…

This blog, and my Grindhouse style Hooter’s video are mentioned on the third page.

From the article: Confessions of an Imperfect Parent

It’s an admission, at least, that confessional parenting can be entrepreneurial. Andy Jones, a graphic designer in Gaithersburg, Md., started a website called www.nontoxicreviews.com (motto: “The daddy blog that makes the mommy blogs cringe’’) in part because he liked getting free product samples.

But he also likes the notion of poking fun at those old ideals of fatherhood. Recently, on a night his wife and a friend’s wife were going to book club, they took their toddler sons on a boys’ night out to Hooters. Jones posted a video clip of the event, set to surf music, in the style of the movie “Grindhouse.’’

It was a fun excuse to play with toys, but Jones was hawking a philosophy, too: that good parents are parents who are having fun with their kids, no matter how illicit the activity might seem.

NonToxicReviews.com Original Podcast
Toys and Games Online.com sent us this Little Tikes Climb & Slide castle to try out. Recommended ages are 1-4, so my almost 2 year old son loved climbing on this. The number one thing is that it really captivated my son for hours, we had to drag him away from it. And finding toys that are durable indoors and out for $60 isn’t too shabby either.

If you really like big playhouses like this, also check out our DIY video on how to make a pirate ship out of an old refrigerator box.

If Your Kid Eats This Book, Everything Will Still Be Okay: How to Know if Your Child’s Injury or Illness Is Really an Emergency
My wife and I have spent a few hours at the Emergency room over fevers and sprains over the last two years. Some were indeed serious, some were nothing more than time and money drains. (Thanks for waiting in our room surrounded by sick people for 5 hours, that’ll be $200 please)
Anyway, I will be picking up this book soon. Looks helpful. This may also be a good present for the newly expecting?

I admit, I just saw Death Proof (part of the Grindhouse) and was inspired. I filmed the whole thing with the number one essential dad gadget accessory the Flip Cam Mino. I edited it in Premiere and added scratches in CS4.

A note to my readers: I know my posts have been a little spread out lately, but I really prefer making videos over everything else. I’ll try to keep more fun stuff in between the videos… but I have a lot coming up!
