I'm just going to say it upfront. I'm a huge supporter of open-air breastfeeding. It's natural. It's beautiful. It's 100% acceptable and supported by my wife, family, and myself.

I’ve been blessed to have been able to take two weeks of vacation to ease into fatherhood without the added...
A week ago today my life changed forever. My son Wesley was born. I gained the life long responsibility of providing for, teaching and advising another person. It is still hard for me to fully take in the fact that Wesley is MY kid. Having Wesley at my house almost seems...
