Congrats on the new baby. Now go and download on all of your digital devices a white noise generator. After checking for gas, poop, clothing not sticking to a small limb from Swaddling. You will use it all of the time to help them get to sleep.

Thanks for this awesome article Tyler.

What’s wrong with spackle? It’s like $4 for a small container at every hardware store, non toxic and water clean up. Apply with finger, wait a few minutes and wipe with a damp sponge. Done.

I can see how telling someone “spend less than you earn” can be unhelpful advice if you’re trying to get that person to be smarter with money, much like saying to someone who’s overweight that losing weight is simply a matter of “calories in versus calories out.” However, I never really saw it as advice but rather as

My boy is due the 10th. This is very helpful thanks. First time dad as well.
