I have a really hard time with zoos–specifically, with the fact that they exist.
I realize logically that many zoos treat animals like royalty; that many also help protect endangered species; and that we simply no longer inhabit an ecology system in which all animals can roam free, unfettered by human activities. If I had any hopes for that, I wouldn’t have two domesticated cats. Continue reading »
Apparently it was Elvis’s 75th birthday recently (because he’s still alive, okay). And since babies and get enough of the King, here are a multitude of babies doing their best Elvis impressions.
Boy or girl, play kitchens are tops with the toddler/preschooler set.
We bought ours when our older daughter was two, and five years later it still sees regular play, especially during playdates. Kids love to imitate what they see their parents doing, which is why play food has come so far: deli sandwiches, sushi, and felt pancakes.
Play kitchens can be a relatively expensive toy, though, especially if don’t want to buy a plastic one. That’s why I love, love, love the “Giggleberry” family’s version. On Little Milla’s second birthday, her grandparents presented her with a gorgeous, deluxe, custom-made play kitchen from a repurposed entertainment center.

You know what. A lot of stuff kinda sucks right now. Failing health care, no more Coco, I still can’t get a shamrock Shake year round. It’s Monday and we need an uplift, so here you go.
This video is so adorable MY ovaries hurt (impressive for a male). Yun Zi, which means “Son of Cloud” took his first walk outside his home at the San Diego Zoo. This video is so cute it’s like adorable porn. (okay, that sounds weird.) Nonetheless, get you some baby panda!
Tiger, a friendly giant of a dog, has a head so big that he could probably swallow the family baby in one gulp. Fortunately for the baby (and for us), he’s got other things on his mind. He loves to hear baby squeal and giggle, and he’s figured out the trick to making that happen: Tickling.
The world would be a better place if everyone had a dog who knew how to tickle. This baby is having way too much fun.
When I was a kid, my brother beat me 115 times in a row at Stratego. I know, because we kept score on the box lid. I think I might have won five, and those were “gimmees” given to me by an older brother who was willing to give one up now and then to a little sister who was willing to get trounced again and again.
