Dudes on Diapers – Literally

A Chuck Rant: Dude, I can remember the day when I was like “Diaper? Huh, what’s that?” Now, after a year of being a stay at home dad, I’ve become quite adept in the fine art of diapering. My highly evolved ‘spidey’ senses alert me to whether a diaper is still ‘G2G – good to [...]

To swaddle or not to swaddle? That is the question…

Chris says: Swaddling has been a great way to keep Owen calm while sleeping.  I actually call it “Svardling.” Don’t know why, just sounds cuter. I must be Svedish or somesing.  I guess my “baby talk” instincts are kicking in!  Anyway, Bro and Sis bought us the Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe and they’re great!  Very easy to use [...]

Bad Ass Stroller

A Chuck Rant: Dude, if you’re in the market for a baby carrier… uh, carrier-carrier?   What the hell do you call these things?   It’s a stroller frame that you snap your car seat/infant carrier into.    Whatever, let’s go with car seat stroller.    I was fairly content with my rickety, no name,$60 POS (piece o’ shiza).   I didn’t know no betta!   [...]

More Dude News

A Chuck Rant: In the days since we were featured in the Sacramento Bee , some news organizations and bloggers seem fascinated with the concept of dads staying home to raise the kiddos whilst mommies work to support the fam.  Although some folks commenting on these articles think we’re “lazy slackers” and that we need to ”quit crying and get a [...]

More Dudes’ menu: Milk, it does a body good!

Chris says: Hhhmm Chuck… YOU’D eat THAT?! OK, I suppose converted to an adult menu, it would sound like this: “An appetizer of whole wheat crackers with thinly sliced semi-sharp cheddar cheese… Followed by a main course of slow-roasted turkey breast with au-jus and fresh organic green beans.” OK, I can do that. But the bananas for [...]

“What’s for Dinner Daddy?”

A Chuck Rant: “Mmmmm, mmmmm, good!” Yes, dudes can cook too! Why feed your baby stuff that you wouldn’t eat. A healthy (and cheap!) alternative to nasty boxed/jarred baby foods. What’s on the menu today? Try this daddy inspired concoction out: 1 slice of thick cut deli Turkey, cut into baby sized bites 1 slice [...]

Black and White Weekend

Chris says: I learned this weekend how fun it is to take care of a baby when you have no utilities in your house for 3 days. That’s right, no electricity, no water, food and breast milk all melting away, and you can’t escape because it’s snowing like cats and dogs.  We got 56 inches [...]

Oh, Yes. Another Headband!

A Chuck Rant, Chris I don’t expect you to ‘get’ this, given that you have a baby boy.   But, for those of us blessed with baby girls, you’ll love this.  Yeah, I just received my much anticipated headbands this past weekend.   I was so stoked.   Remember in my previous post,  “Heady Headbands” where I discovered this lady [...]

Worldly Dudes

Chris says: Hey Chuck,  your selective reading missed my post title. It was “DudeOnDiapers.” Note, one Dude only.  I got no love from SacTown. I’m just the “…friend who lives in Colorado.”  You know, that “other state,” way over there… :) Haha. Don’t worry, Oprah just called.  She wants to bring me on the show. Maybe she’ll give [...]
