It's probably the one-year anniversary of my wife's finest moment of filling our garage with Costco dry goods because she foresaw that Covid was coming, and my finest moment of believing she was completely overreacting but somehow keeping my mouth shut

Last year, like hundreds of thousands of other toddler parents, I became obsessed with this foam couch I couldn't buy. Here's my deep dive into the surprisingly complex world of the Nugget: bestproducts.com/parenting/kids…

Since everyone asks before reading: Yes, I wrote about Nugget After Dark and some of the chaotic politics within the online Nuggiverse!

I think I've finally reached the good part of pregnancy where you can go at least six hours without dry-heaving and it feels like you have a tiny dolphin caged in your uterus

Today on my kid's 4th birthday she told me a very detailed story of the day she was born and how she didn't like us (her parents) at first because she didn't know who we were. So relieved to hear she changed her mind once she got to know us "at age 1 or 2."
