Friend of Noodad.com, and fellow Jimmy Fund walker, Dave (from Daddy Daze) as released a cool eBook on his site. Even better, it is free.
Today I’m so happy to release my very first eBook, “5 Tips for Happy, Little Toddlers.” Don’t let the title mislead you; it’s much more than simple tips. In fact, this eBook contains extended versions of my post popular posts, including Seven Steps to End Mealtime Battles Forever, How to Avoid Reinforcing the Wrong Behavior, The Storm Before the Calm (why behavior gets worse before it gets better) and A Simple and Effective Reward System.
Jennifer Garner is the proud mom of a daughter with actor Ben Affleck. Here’s the Alias star pregnant and looking hot pre-pregnancy. But if you really want a treat, check out this scene from Alias. What do you think noodads: hot or not?
According to a new study, us dads should just pack it in and go through the motions of unhappiness for the rest of our lives. The research suggests having children brings no increase in “life satisfaction” in men, and only makes women happier once the youngsters start school.
According to the study, children aged three to four have a negative effect on female life satisfaction and for men, children below five years old “significantly reduce” life satisfaction.
For those of you who are about to be a dad of a toddler, here’s a great list of the “Laws of a Toddler”. From experience, this is absolutely true. Get ready…
1. If I like it, it’s mine.
2. If it’s in my hand, it’s mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
5. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks just like mine, it’s mine.
8. If I think it’s mine, it’s mine.
Here in the east, over the past couple of days, Ma Nature reminded us just what New England Winters can be like. And while most of us strained against her ball-busting furry clearing our driveways, hopefully, we all took a second to appreciate the beauty of Winter and perhaps make a snowman or go sledding with our kids. As I gleefully pulled mine around the neighborhood on a sled, I was transported back to my childhood and the days spent outdoors until numbness set in.
Most often, that numbness was the result of my brother and my efforts to build snow forts… Forts were cool but what we always wanted to build was an igloo. Igloos were stuff of suburban legend. Everyone knew someone who supposedly had made one but no one had the know how to figure it out. Too bad we (or my dad) didn’t have access to a dude like Norbert E. Yankielun who goes by the name Doctor Why and his expertise (and his web site)…because he can tell you, step by step, how to pull off a real-deal igloo. Check it out in this article on BostonGlobe.com today.
I think it goes without saying though that your kids should be supervised if they try this… a roof cave-in could really ruin a great day in Winter Wonderland!
As I have said time and time again, I am a devout follower of Pampers products. After trying our every major brand when my (now 5 year old) daughter was a newborn, my wife and I landed on Pampers and have not strayed since. Now on our third kid and probably 5000 diapers later, Pampers still reigns supreme in the Noodad household.
It is good crispy, burnt, salty, and fatty. It’s good as strips or crumbled. It is enough to man-up the girliest of salads and the snobbiest of scallops. In essence, it is hands down the best piece of meet to ever come off an animal. The single strip of bacon alone is the reason why a pig is better than a cow when it comes to meat.
Today, I found an amazing act of brilliance. Created, of course, by a man who clearly loves bacon the same way that I do. He thought to himself, “Why not weave bacon together and make a tapestry of bacon-y goodness?” All I can say is, “Thank you sir.” Image after the jumpRead the rest of this entry »
Salma Hayek gave birth to her daughter on September 21st. Here’s the Frida star pregnant and looking hot pre-pregnancy. But if you really want a treat, check out the dance she does in From Dusk till Dawn. What do you think noodads: hot or not?
I’m no Clemens apologist, but it seems like each of the players on the list have already been convicted in the court of public opinion. It harkens back to the days of McCarthyism where, as soon as Joe McCarthy spoke your name, you were labeled a pinko commie bastard. How could Burgess Meredith be a communist?
Some of the evidence seems a little sketchy as do some of the omissions. How was it decided that an incomplete report would be published? How was it decided that players who obviously used something to enhance their game, like Sammy Sosa.
Canseco has said that Mitchell’s report is a farce and that certain players were left out. What I want to know is, how did they decide where to draw the stick in the sand? How did Clemens get Mitch slapped when players Sosa were left alone?
Yesterday the Boston area got hit with our first snow storm of the year. In my area, we got 10 to 12 inches. As much as it is nice to get your kids (home from a school closing) to do the grunt work of shoveling all that snow, the bottom line is a snowblower is quicker, better, and let’s face it, a heck of a lot more fun. There is nothing like throwing snow 30 feet in the air!
Snowblowing for me is an excuse to show off my machinery in the middle of the night. It’s like the time you backed out your new riding mower for the first cut of the season. But a snowblower is not like pulling a sports car out of the garage. You start off with a loud bang and a steady hum of the engine for all the neighbors to hear. And while you have a large window of acceptable grass length, when it comes to snow, you have to get in and out of your driveway. Last night I was snowblowing from 8:00 - 10:00 P.M. because I didn’t want it to freeze overnight. Read the rest of this entry »
