I needed my creativity through freelancing in order to stay motivated... I was miserable at that job.
Anything less than an enthusiastic and on going "Yes!" is a "No."
I love Saturdays. I always have. The reason I love them so much has changed since becoming a father, but they still rock!...
I’m having a Dad-chelor party next month. The idea is similar to a bachelor party. Starting fatherhood is a big step...
I enjoy watching Star Wars movies. The Imperial March is probably the most iconic of the Star Wars songs (not...
Let’s get a few things straight. No doctor or nurse is going to get my child in an exam room and talk to them privately, until they are old enough to confidently take care of themselves. Seriously, my one year old has a pretty limited vocabulary confined to things like...
I had a great childhood. My family moved a lot and we didn’t have much money, but an overwhelming majority...
Wallet. Keys. Phone. That’s all I used to need before leaving the house as a single man. I wouldn’t get...
I’m not a big beer drinker. I do like beer though. I like it dark and complex. I only drink beer when out with the guys (doesn’t happen often enough) or on special occasions like a sporting event or celebration. The birth of my child fits into the celebration category in my...
Ho.ly. Crap. I’ve been a dad for over four months now! Recently I’ve been thinking about all of the things...
I consider my wife to be my best friend. We're a team that can conquer almost anything when we're on the same page. We've got a lot of shared experiences and stories and love spending time with each other. In many ways were are like Kirk and Spock from Star Trek, except with more romance. I'm gonna get in trouble for that reference aren't I?
I’m 31. I have been the friend and family member that doesn’t have kids for a long time. For years I’ve logged into my Facebook account and seen my friends’ profiles taken over by their children....
I wanted to be the perfect dad. I wanted everything to be right. I was scared to death that I would screw something up, break him or drop the baby. That's not happened yet, so I count it as a win!
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.
Life moves at a break-neck-speed. There is always something to be done or someone to respond to. The only time I get to myself now is when I’m at the grocery store. It’s my safe space, but I’ll get to that in a second....
Fatherhood is something I am still getting used to, but seems to fit me well. Being a dad is incredible....
My experience of making friends in one’s thirties tells me that it is nearly impossible. Work, kids and general adult responsibilities...
“You hit like a girl!” he shouted. I was six and had just been insulted by Jake. He was a fellow student and resident cool guy in 1st grade. I wanted to be just like him. He was good at sports (gym class dodgeball), he liked rock music (his dad’s 60s...
Dad blogging lost one of its heroes this past weekend. His name was Oren Miller and cancer took him from us. Oren started a Facebook group in December of 2012. His goal was to create a community for dads to share ideas, increase their influence and help create a better form of fatherhood. He simply named it Dad Bloggers.
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...
