Oh My Disney has followed up last year’s “Ducktales with Real Ducks” video with a real Chipmunk take on another Disney Afternoon favorite – Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers. https://youtu.be/wLMp6Ybw3Dk The Ducktales video was followed by an announcement of a reboot for the show, something I had been pushing for quite some time. Well, notContinue reading “Rescue Rangers to the Rescue! (with real chipmunks)”

Bins and bins of baby clothes
The basement. Like the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, it is a sea of forgotten memories. Some that elicit the light of joy, while others are best left forgotten, begging the question of why we hung onto them in the first place. We’ve been in our current house for sixContinue reading “Bins and bins of baby clothes”
Nap-A-Roo
Every now and then I get a new book to try out at storytime via the Independent Book Publishers Association. Storytime always proves to be the best litmus test, as opposed to me just reading a book and telling you what I thought. Honestly, who cares what I think if the book is for kids.Continue reading “Nap-A-Roo”
Three
Three years. How quickly they go by. It seems like only yesterday I cradled you in my arms, swaddled in a blanket covered in baby footprints, wondering how I was so lucky to get to welcome you into this world. When we brought you home, I never thought I could feel so exhausted again inContinue reading “Three”
Kindermusik
The beat of the drums. The shaking of maracas. And our son running around a room wanting to play with a hula hoop on the wall. It’s Kindermusik time. What’s Kindermusik? I will explain to you, as I was completely unaware myself until Meg sent me the links one day that led to our signingContinue reading “Kindermusik”
“Father’s Day with Thomas the Tank Engine” OR “Sir Topham Hatt is very cross with you”
What? No blog entry on Father’s Day? You’re a dad blogger for crying out loud! There’s a very simple reason I am blogging about Father’s Day today and not yesterday. I was too busy enjoying it. Father’s Day was an absolute delight for me. I got up and Meg had made a wonderful breakfast forContinue reading ““Father’s Day with Thomas the Tank Engine” OR “Sir Topham Hatt is very cross with you””
A Headline of Some Importance this Mother’s Day (well, for us anyway)…
Here we go again. That media, making a big deal out of everything. Okay. It is kind of a big deal. 😉 Since we’re both pretty big fans of the satirical newspaper The Onion, this seemed like a natural approach for ‘the big reveal,’ as it were. Fortunately, our son turned out to have prettyContinue reading “A Headline of Some Importance this Mother’s Day (well, for us anyway)…”
Coloring our composers
“What’s the purple guy’s name?” The question came out of the blue from the backseat of the car one afternoon driving home, I looked around – nope, no one dressed in purple out shoveling their driveway or going for a jog that he might be looking at. Just a moment or two ago, we wereContinue reading “Coloring our composers”
Cartoon Madness!!!
You would think the media giants were reading this blog (or my mind) with the pop culture news coming out this week, tailor-made for those of us who grew up watching cartoons in the era of John Hughes movies and Balki Bartokomous. Some time ago, I wrote about my disappointment when childhood favorite Inspector GadgetContinue reading “Cartoon Madness!!!”
Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks
While sure, there are many times where being in the presence of children can be downright exhausting – there’s also many a time when a child brings out something fresh, something new, something lost in a person. They can be rejuvenating. Whether it’s their laughter, their imagination or just their energy and innocence, it makesContinue reading “Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks”
