I had the privilege of contributing to Mihee Kim-Kort’s new blog series, The Meaning of Children. I wrote about Micah and Judah, and the way that their short lives have impacted our lives. Below is an excerpt, and please click through to read the entire post and check out Mihee’s series: As the father of […]
Micah, Judah and Caleb
It’s been months since I’ve written on this blog. There’s probably lots of reasons for that…it’s been a stressful past 6 months or so. I’m going to be transitioning out of my current job in a couple months, and we don’t know what’s next for me. Turns out Caleb being 3 is not super easy. […]
Get Organized with the KeySmart 2.0
A few weeks ago, I saw someone on Facebook post about something called the KeySmart…and as soon as I saw it – I knew that I wanted one. Aside from just being a really sleek looking accessory, it’s also incredibly useful. I was starting to get annoyed at how bulky my keys were becoming – […]
Perfect iPad Case for Kids: the Gripcase for iPad
Caleb and I have our routines. And one of them is that he often comes to church with me in the morning – and when he does that, as soon as we open my office door, he runs over to the chair and says, “I want to play with iPad.” He knows he gets to […]
Best Play Table for Kids: The Nilo Table
When I used to take Caleb to the library in Ashland, Oregon, it wasn’t really because of the books. It was because of the train table. They had a really good table there at the library that was setup as a train table; it was a nice, large table, just at the right height for toddlers. […]
The Töbo Track: A Review
A few months ago, I was sent a Töbo Track to review on my blog – this was a toy that Sarah had heard a lot about, and so we were excited to see how Caleb would enjoy playing with it. The Töbo Track is a pretty unique educational toy. This is how their website […]
Glide Bikes: Orange Ezee Glider with Air Tires
Thanks to my wife, Sarah, who wrote up this great review for the Glide Bikes Ezee Glider that we got to review online. When we lived in Ashland, OR, balance bikes were the norm. Rather than seeing kids tooling around playgrounds on tricycles or bikes with training wheels, you’d see little kids scooting themselves along […]
Noah’s Ark
A few mornings ago, Caleb was playing with a toy boat that is one of his bath toys. He said, “It’s Noah and the Ark!” I asked, “What do you know about Noah?” Caleb: “Noah and the Ark, and a flood.” Dad: “A flood? Why was there a flood?” Caleb: “God sent it.” Dad: “Caleb, […]
Catlike Kitten Helmet Review: A Great Bike Helmet for Toddlers
When Caleb was a baby, and got his first YBike Pewi, he had a helmet that I think Sarah got off Amazon at the time. Knowing her ability to research things on the internet, I’m sure it was a good one. And it got some good use, but it seemed like it wasn’t really fitting […]
Seamless Faith: Simple Practices for Daily Family Life
One of my seminary colleagues from Princeton, Traci Smith, has recently come out with a book that I think many folks here may find helpful, and I wanted to give her the chance to share with you a little bit about the book. It’s called Seamless Faith: Simple Practices for Daily Family Life and it is […]
