My wife and I have been married for ten years as of April 17, 2016. We both had some vacation...
I’ve joined the Netflix #StreamTeam and have been compensated for writing this post. The childhood that my son is experiencing is much different than the one I did. He’s got touch screen computers and smart phones in the house. He gets to travel internationally and on all sorts of public...
My schedule has been crazy busy recently. April will give me more of a chance to check out some seasons/shows on Netflix that I can't wait to see or see again.
Medieval Times invited us to attend a show at their Schaumburg, IL location last month and we gladly accepted. Mr....
If you loved the original Full House you'll love Fuller House. It has all of the cheesy, predictable, family friendly fun of the original in an updated storyline... 29 years later.
Nearly one in four (24%) Americans admit to being negatively affected by information about them online. That number more than doubles for millennials and comes in at 50%. Find out how you can make the right first impression online with a .ME of your own.
I look forward to attending the Dad 2.0 Summit every year. It has been a great experience each time I’ve...
My experience of making friends in one’s thirties tells me that it is nearly impossible. Work, kids and general adult responsibilities get in the way of friendship building for me everyday. The close friendships that I have now were made in my twenties or my teens. I’ve made many acquaintances since I turned thirty...
It hit me for the first time as I sat there in the waiting room of a medical diagnostics location a few blocks from my work. Abigail was in the back room getting blood work done to confirm what we already knew. The signs were all there. We couldn't ignore what was happening and simply hope the best would prevail. It wasn't going to get better or fix itself if we just gave it more time.
My wife and I signed up for a trial of Netflix during the winter storm that shut down most of Chicago for a couple of days back in 2011. We were snowed in, had plenty of food and wanted to try something new. Five years later we're still using Netflix to pass the time with or without snow on the ground.
We have a little dare devil on our hands. This was never more clear to us than the first time we took Mr. Dude into a fair type atmosphere where he was actually big enough to ride the rides. Standing at just over 36 inches (36.8" to be exact) Mr. Dude could ride many, but not all of the rides at Navy Pier's Winter Wonderfest last month.
This year you can celebrate as a family and still have time for a parents-only party with a whole new set of New Year’s Eve countdowns, available today only on Netflix, designed for preschoolers, tweens and everyone in between. You choose when to say goodnight, and the kids choose how to celebrate with their favorite characters.
Visiting the Zoo Lights at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo is one of our annual traditions. We skip it when the...
One of the traditions we've started as a family is going to see the holiday trees at the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago every year. Mr. Dude loved seeing the trees this year.
I spent nine hours in the car on my birthday last month between 3:00 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. due to a family...

My wife and I celebrate Christmas earlier than most every year. The problem is, I can't fit all my holiday joy into just four weeks! I think it takes six to eight weeks to enjoy it to its maximum extent. I have, however, gathered thoughts from over twenty fellow dad bloggers who think I celebrate a bit too early.
Thanksgiving comes every year, but people are often already focused on Christmas well before the meal is prepared. This year, I thought I'd put together a list of Thanksgiving TV Episodes from some of my favorite shows on Netflix.
