Busy, busy, busy.
That’s my only excuse for not posting something on L.A. Daddy in a while. Of course, I could probably also use lazy, lazy, lazy and it would still apply.
It’s been a quick, fun summer and we’ve gotten a lot done. And I’ve been playing a lot of golf. I’m obsessed by it, really. […]

I got a call from my L.A. Toddler’s daycare yesterday. Her teacher wasn’t quite sure how to tell me what was wrong but finally managed to get it all out. I smiled.
Apparently, my youngest had decided that she didn’t want to eat her corn. She wanted to snort it.
She had placed a kernel up each […]

And another thing…
What’s with all the crying?!
Yes, it’s another thing no one told me about when I signed up for this gig. As I told you, I didn’t know to get the owners manual like everyone else did when we had our first daughter. And I was too tired to remember to ask for it […]

When I was a wee lad, every single man in my life - uncles, older cousins, my grandfather, all of ‘em - would fart. Loudly. But none of them would ever admit they passed the gas.
Oh, no.
They never did it. It was always that “frog” that just ran under the chair. As a kid, I […]

I finally got around to uploading my Halloween pictures. Better late than never, I guess. Of course, it’s not as bad as the fact that I still have a pumpkin literally melting on my front porch…

This was LA Toddler’s first Halloween away from California. Our friends live just down the street so we all went […]

Well, here we are — in October. This year has just flown by.
We’ve got 15 days now before we have to be completely out of our townhouse and into our new home. Were we busy packing and moving boxes this past weekend? Nope… we took another break. But this was a good break — L.A. […]

Well, when you’re forced to paint both bedrooms Perpetually Pink and Potentially Purple…

Ain’t it pretty? This is L.A. Baby’s new bedroom in our house.

And this is the precocious 4 year old L.A. Toddler’s bedroom. Even though these rooms rooms are small, it took us all day Saturday to paint one and all day Sunday to […]

Well, today is my 2nd year of blogging on the L.A. Daddy website.
Quite a bit has changed… My daughter has gotten 2 years older. I had a second daughter. I moved away from L.A.
Now that I’ve bought a new house, I’ve started another chapter in my life. (My home green remodeling blog is up and […]

We went out to breakfast on Sunday morning. It’s not really a tradition, but we like to let someone else do the cooking every once in a while. And this Sunday, I was out of eggs anyway, so… off we went.
After we sat down, L.A. Toddler opened her menu and immediately went to her favorite […]

Would you like to avoid a major meltdown in your home? Heed my advice…
If you are going to tell your world-weary toddler, at the end of a long week, that you’re going to be serving “Fish and Chips” for dinner… it’s very important to not give her French fries, but actual potato chips.
I made this […]
