Living in Denver means my kids have a better chance of seeing a mountain lion than a real ocean wave on any given Tuesday. But when my daughter Lily turned eight on June 14, 2025, she didn’t want a hiking trip or a visit to the local climbing gym; she wanted a full-blown tropical getaway…
The living room smelled like burnt sugar and pine needles, which was a miracle considering we were on the third floor of a walk-up in Logan Square. My twins, Leo and Maya, turned six on October 14th, and their only demand was a “real forest” inside our apartment. I had exactly $58 left in the…

She’s got her little heart set on all her friends wearing party hats, which,…
My living room looked like a Squirtle used Hydro Pump on a pile of yellow crepe paper last March. It was March 14, 2025, and my son Leo was turning four with a singular, high-pitched obsession: he wanted to “be Pikachu.” As a dad who spends his weekends reading the fine print on toy safety…
My kitchen floor currently feels like a sticky wasteland of spilled blue Hawaiian Punch and crushed Goldfish crackers, but honestly, it was worth every chaotic second. Last Tuesday, March 24, I hosted my son Leo’s 5th birthday party in our slightly too-small living room here in rainy suburban Portland. With my 7-year-old, Maya, trying to…
