Incredible Leadership Lessons – Failure

theincredidad March 1, 2019 0 Comments
I learned about failure and rejection at a very young age. Their lessons have served me well over the years. When I showed an interest in musical theater, my parents were encouraging but practical. My mom accompanied me on my first audition and was horrified by the entitled attitudes of the stage parents and their kids. I knew I nailed the tryout. I hit my song out of the park and I was riding…

Here’s A “Quicky”

theincredidad February 28, 2019 0 Comments
My own IncrediDad used to refer to going to the toilet as "Taking a quicky."Well here is a quicky for you. Boy Wonder has discovered how to pull off his super-suit, err, his diaper. If I do not put his pants on fast enough, I usually have a streaker running from room to room in my home. Such was the case not too long ago. He was naked and squatting over the carpet by the time I followed him into…

I’m Alfred, Not Batman

As a father, and as a human being, I've learned to take the good with the bad. For example, it's a good thing that Boy Wonder has learned the word please. He knows it's proper use; "Peanut Butter peeze.", "Binky please.", "Money please." Wait a second, what was that? The flip side is that he knows how to weaponize the word too. "Phone please! Pleeeeeeease. PLEASE!" But he's just so damn cute, how…

Swimming Tips For Toddlers Under Two

If mermaids were real then my son would be Aquaman. He loves bath-time, shower-time, trips to the pool, and a day at the beach. If there’s water involved, Boy Wonder will play until his fingers are nice and pruny. Being part fish runs in the family though. IncrediMom and I are both swimmers from way back. My first job was Lifeguard and Swim Instructor at my local YMCA. That or your community…

Auld Lang Syne

theincredidad December 31, 2018 3 Comments
Parents, tonight when the ball drops and everyone is trying to sing the song they can't remember the words to, replace those "Auld lang syne" lyrics with "days gone by". You'll be able to sing along with confidence knowing the song's true meaning. And know that, when you refill your glass, you're celebrating not the days (because they tend to stretch on far too long) but the year gone by (and…

The Boubons

Now that we're past Thanksgiving and Christmas is right around the corner, we've entered that five-week stretch I like to call Cold and Flu Season. We all got our flu shots this year, so I thought we were safe, but a strange and mysterious new super-villain has invaded our house. He came without warning and struck hard. His effects are lingering and annoying. His name is The Boubons. His first…

Top 3 Unexpected Ways That Fatherhood Changed My Life

theincredidad November 19, 2018 2 Comments
When we first found out we were going to be parents it seemed like everyone kept repeating the same thing to us. "It will change your life forever." Okay, yeah, sure it will. You dont even have a human kid. You're a dog mom! It seemed reasonable that something like creating new life would turn ours upside down but no one ever explained how. There were obvious changes like lack of sleep, more toys…

theincredidad November 7, 2018 0 Comments
Today's Incredible Leadership lesson may seem like a no-brainer but it's often overlooked. Incredible leaders keep their teams safe at all times and one of the best ways to do that is by taking some preventative measures. I'm talking about building a First Aid kit. It's the first item that gets strapped onto my utility belt.  A First Aid Kit seems more essential now that Boy Wonder…
