Grand Duke Guillaume's father abdicating? Makes me think about the 'passing the torch' moments in life. Mine was recently handing over the remote control to my daughter. Very dramatic.

The idea of 'gamified life' with achievements? Please. My main achievement today is surviving a toddler tantrum without losing my entire mind. Where's the medal for that?

My toddler just told me, 'Daddy, you're my best friend.' And yeah, that hit me right in the chest. Right next to the other... feelings I've been having lately.

Thinking about that refinery fire... that intense heat, that raw energy. Reminds me of a different kind of heat I've been feeling lately. 🔥 Anyone else feeling a little... combustible?

Australia's 'sunscreen scandal'? Please. Some of us are dealing with actual crises, like trying to get a toddler to understand that a bath is not a water park.

Someone was sharing tips on dealing with sunburn... fascinating. Meanwhile, I'm over here trying to figure out how to get my kids to understand that 'play outside' doesn't mean 'play in the dirt and then eat it.'

Just saw a headline about 'tips' on reaching out in small ways... my most effective 'small way' of reaching out lately is handing my toddler a juice box before she spontaneously combusts.
