Mr. Dude loves the color pink. He’s also a fan of cupcakes. Who isn’t? We made some pink cupcakes on a recent Saturday while “Mom mom” was on a trip. Here’s a video to prove it:   I am aware of the fact that the cupcakes looked terrible. I’m not a baker. I did, however, […]

My wife and I have been married for ten years as of April 17, 2016. We both had some vacation time to use so we took a trip to Spain. Mr. Dude is too little to be left at home with a sitter for a week while Mom and Dad travel the globe so he […]

My schedule has been crazy busy recently. April will give me more of a chance to check out some seasons/shows on Netflix that I can't wait to see or see again.

If you loved the original Full House you'll love Fuller House. It has all of the cheesy, predictable, family friendly fun of the original in an updated storyline... 29 years later.

My wife and I signed up for a trial of Netflix during the winter storm that shut down most of Chicago for a couple of days back in 2011. We were snowed in, had plenty of food and wanted to try something new. Five years later we're still using Netflix to pass the time with or without snow on the ground.

We have a little dare devil on our hands. This was never more clear to us than the first time we took Mr. Dude into a fair type atmosphere where he was actually big enough to ride the rides. Standing at just over 36 inches (36.8" to be exact) Mr. Dude could ride many, but not all of the rides at Navy Pier's Winter Wonderfest last month.

This year you can celebrate as a family and still have time for a parents-only party with a whole new set of New Year’s Eve countdowns, available today only on Netflix, designed for preschoolers, tweens and everyone in between. You choose when to say goodnight, and the kids choose how to celebrate with their favorite characters.

Visiting the Zoo Lights at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo is one of our annual traditions. We skip it when the winter’s are too cold to be outside at night comfortably for very long. This year, however, the December nights have been gorgeous for strolling around the zoo. We took a trip to the zoo earlier […]

Carving a pumpkin is an annual ritual at our house. I’m not the artistic type, but I have fun doing it. This year, Mr. Dude also really enjoyed being part of the process. Check out how much fun he had by watching the video below: https://www.facebook.com/DaddysGrounded/videos/vb.371366642944559/903613519719866/

My favorite car has to be the first car I purchased after getting married. It was a 2005 Hyundai Accent. It was automatic and the color was light blue. Getting our first car as a married couple was an unforgettable milestone.
