Sunday Cute Shot - Naomi and Alexander Love a Parade

Whit Honea — Sun, 24 May 2009 23:17:00 GMT

Sasha got bird's eye view of a NYC parade while riding on mommy Naomi Watt's shoulders.

Granted, it was a low-flying bird, but a kid has to take what he can get.

Violet's Easter Parade

Little Violet Affleck and her mom Jennifer Garner are lovely any day of the week, so why should Easter be any different?

The ladies spent their Sunday the old-fashioned way, hunting eggs and enjoying chocolate (implied).

Dear Obama: Success Is An Inside Job

HerBadMother — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:25:00 GMT

On the day of his inauguration as 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama received this message: love your wife, play with your daughters, BE HAPPY. Oh, and don't buy too many cars.

I would advise you to remember that you did not create the disaster that the world is experiencing, and you alone are not responsible for bringing the world back to balance. A primary responsibility that you do have, however, is to cultivate happiness in your own life. To make a schedule that permits sufficient time of rest and play with your gorgeous wife and lovely daughters. Not to mention your brave and precious grandmother.* And so on. One gathers that your family is large. We are used to seeing men in the White House become juiceless and as white-haired as the building; we notice their wives and children looking strained and stressed. They soon have smiles so lacking in joy that they remind us of scissors. This is no way to lead. Nor does your family deserve this fate. One way of thinking about all this is: it is so bad now that there is no excuse not to relax. From your happy, relaxed state, you can model real success, which is only what so many people in the world really want. They may buy endless cars and houses and furs and gobble up all the attention and space they can manage, but this is because it is not clear to them yet that success is truly an inside job. That it is within the reach of almost everyone.

That's from Alice Walker. She's awesome. We should all take her words to heart, because everything she says is within the reach of all of us.

Obamaland - The Happiest Place on Earth?

Whit Honea — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Perhaps you heard that the United States of America has a new president. It's a thing we do.

The concerts, balls, speeches and parades are over- well, maybe not the speeches, and today President Obama starts putting his money where his mouth is. Or our money, as the case may be.

There has been much written on the Obama family over the past few days and it might be a bit overwhelming. Here, for you convenience, is an easy to navigate collection of posts, photos and videos:

Oh my, she is just adorable. Princess Maxima and her daughters welcomed St Nicholas Paje in a parade in the Netherlands.

This looks like a happy family outing. Are those actually snoods that the girls are wearing? They are cutie patooties.

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade: Trace Adkins

Whit Honea — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:39:00 GMT

Trace Adkins was among the stars that filled the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Adkins rode on the Jimmy Dean float of sausage and sang one of his songs, "You're Going to Miss This," with his family by his side.

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade: Rick Rolled!

Whit Honea — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:26:00 GMT

Yes, you read that correctly. The 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade got a real life Rick Roll. It was awesome.

The float featuring "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" was just floating along, singing their song when someone must have clicked a link they weren't too sure of, and presto- Rick Astley.

I wonder if Rick's kid will forgive him for interrupting Foster's.

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade: James Taylor and Family

Whit Honea — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 18:40:00 GMT

The 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was a hit, as usual, and among the stars that made their way down Broadway was Mr. James Taylor.

Taylor sang America the Beautiful with his wife and twin boys looking on.

Hope you had a good turkey day!

Disney "Teens" Banned from Thanksgiving

Whit Honea — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:33:00 GMT

Man, talk about a bunch of turkeys. A popular group of "teens" from the house of mouse have gone the way of Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Miley Cyrus and acted inappropriately. Yes, there was talk of nakedness.

The most surprising aspect of this story? The fact that the "teen" in question is actually 25. Who knew?

Beck's a Father, Baby (Don't Kill Him)

Whit Honea — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:07:00 GMT

Beck just put out a new CD called Modern Guilt (which on first listen is pretty awesome) and in an interview with Parade magazine he discussed the role that fatherhood has on his songwriting:

How has fatherhood influenced your work? Are any of the songs on this album inspired by your family?

"Not directly, but like everything in your life it comes out here and there. Having children shifts your view of things in ways you may not always be conscious of, but it’s there and I'm sure it’s there in the music."

Is that deep or just a fancy 'no?'

What Is Up With Gwyneth And All Those Hooker Shoes?

HerBadMother — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:38:00 GMT

Seriously. Gwyneth Paltrow can barely stand up in those things. They're, like, five inches high. And sufficiently stilleto that either one of them could kill a man with relatively little application of force.

Obviously, these shoes - like the others - are not going-to-the-park-with-the-kiddies shoes, but still. Doesn't she at least pick the kids up before she goes out, give them a snuggle, that kind of thing? And wouldn't she just topple over doing that, if she were in these shoes?

I like me a good shoe, I really do, but please. I also like to stand upright.

Robert Downey, Jr. and the Heart of Iron Man

Whit Honea — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:01:00 GMT

Robert Downey, Jr., (pictured with Iron Man director Jon Favreau and co-star Gwyneth Paltrow) recently gave an interview in Parade during which he shared some of his thoughts on his son and his role as a father: “My son is gifted and artistic and has a great sense of humor, yet he’s a very contemplative guy. That’s good. I don’t want him to be in a hurry to find out who he is.

“I’m a guy who was in such a hurry that I missed the train four or five times. I didn’t understand the importance of the crossroads I found myself at. As a dad, I think that my job is to do the right thing - to prepare him for what is coming in his life.

“I used to be so convinced that happiness was the goal, yet all those years I was chasing after it, I was unhappy in the pursuit. Maybe the goal really should be a life that values honor, duty, good work, friends and family.”

Sounds like Robert finally has it together. Best of luck to him.

Anyone else stoked about Iron Man?

The World Series is Over?

Whit Honea — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:29:00 GMT

This is Mike Timlin and his daughter Mykala. Those other people are fanatics.

Apparently while the rest of us were picking pumpkins and watching football the Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies in the World Series. I don't think it was on TV, but you can find coverage on the internets.

Below you'll find another picture of Mike and Mykala, followed by a shot of the series-winning hitter Bobby Kielty and his daughter as they pass by the throng of said fanatics.

Congratulations, Red Sox Nation.
