It's because she and I are in it.
Yep, Z and I were featured in
Parents magazine's "Dads Hall of Fame" in their June issue, along with a guy-diaper-bag designer, a paternity video production team, the guy who draws on his daughter's lunch bags, a bunch of celebrities, and the President of the United States. We dropped a hint about this to readers about a month ago, but we really had no idea it would be anything like this.
For those of you arriving from the pages of
Parents, welcome! We have some great content planned for the week, including a new
Sippy Cup Showdown comparing ease of use, leakiness, and value for dozens of makes and models of the ubiquitous sippers, and a look into the chemical claims of a well-regarded kids' suncreen. While you're in the neighborhood, make sure to check out the other blogs in our network, which you can access through that hub site, ZRecs.com, or using the menu bar at the top of your screen. We also have two years of great content in the
ZRecs Archives, where we used to blog before moving to our new network late last year. Have a look around, share a story or two of your own, and consider subscribing to any of our blogs using the RSS or email subscription links at the top of almost every page.
And if you're on Twitter, Jenni is an active user, offering tips and sharing our own experiences as
@zrecsmom.
Z's up looking for chow, so I'd better get moving. Thanks to
Parents for thinking of us, and to everyone who has written in or chatted us up to let us know they've spotted us in such illustrious company.
Congrats, Jer!!! This is so awesome. You deserve it! Guess I will have to go and pick up a copy of Parent’s magazine…
Hey, congratulations!!! :)
I loved the article, what a nice way to promote 21st century fatherhood. Congrads for making it to the Hall of Fame!!
Congrats! I received my issue today and am glad to see you get the attention you deserve. I’ve been following you for a couple of years and I’m grateful for all of the useful information that’s difficult to find elsewhere.
I saw the mention too! Great job!
Hey, you’re one of the top ten dads!
Sweet!
How cool for you guys - you really deserve the kudos for being on the forefront of all that is green and cool in this world.
I was just coming here to congratulate you-I just read the article yesterday! I was not surprised at all-the time and dedication you have spent to inform all of us parents has been incredible and very much appreciated. Glad to see “Parents” feels the same! Congratulations!
Mine came in the mail yesterday and I quickly turned to your page. Super cool! Congrats to both of you and Jenni, too.
I am here b/c of the article in Parent’s Mag. I was particularly interested in the Sippy Cup Showdown since that is a battle I am losing right now. I also loved the “Paci Fairy” idea - my son is 2 1/2 and I am so ready to get rid of them. I look forward to exploring your site more!
Congratulations! Parents came in the mail the same day that your post went up. I read your post before the magazine. Went right to Parents and scanned it for your article. Very cool.
Looks great! I have one here on my coffee table waiting to be read and sure enough...there you are! Congrats!!
Congrats! I saw Jenni’s tweet about you and Z being in the mag and I got to see it for myself too. How exciting!
Congratulations! Your sites are fantastic, and you guys deserve the acclaim!
