I have a problem with anyone wanting to ban a word. Any word really. Censorship is almost never a good...
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!
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...
Let me introduce you to Oren Miller. This married 41 year old father of two has changed the way dad...
I’ve been a fan of Robin Williams since I was little. Movies like Hook, Aladdin and Jumanji are part of...
This post does not contain any Doctor Who spoilers. Please read with confidence. I’ve recently become a fan of the BBC’s Doctor Who. Thanks to my wife encouraging me to watch it with her. We’ve worked our way through 7 of the relaunched seasons and have just started on the...
We all know these drivers. We deal with them when going to work and school on a daily basis. There...
I visited Applebee's to try out the new Applebee's All-In Triple Bacon Burger. Sounds amazing, right? Find out if the burger lived up to its name.
Everything was happening in slow motion. All the sounds around us were muffled. The water coming out of the faucet. My son's body twitching and then going limp. His clenched jaw and me splashing that cold water on his body. I kept saying "I love you son, breath. Breath. Please breath!"
Thanks for the rocky start. I hope this means you’ve got some seriously good stuff waiting for me later on...
I remember watching my son sleep when he was a newborn. Those moments were precious and often happened only in the afternoon in the early days of my fatherhood. Those sleepless nights were full of frustration, exhaustion and time that seemed to slow to a crawl. In a way and for some odd reason I miss it a little.
Including his teachers, civil leaders and me. I’ve always been a very “by the rules” type of person. I was raised to follow the rules. If I didn’t listen the first time my parents said something there was a price to pay for it. I was never afraid of abuse,...
I grew up watching shows like Saved By The Bell, Star Trek: TNG and Godzilla among others. Thanks to Netflix I can rewatch most of it all over again!
I swore it would never happen. I didn't have a clue. The rules I had set up for myself in my pre-child world didn't stand a chance once I became a dad. Here are six ways I've changed my standards since becoming one.
The world is a rough place. People who should be able to get along often don't get along at all. Bosses often look out for what is best for themselves and take advantage of their subordinates. Gun owners oppose any talk of reasonable regulations based off of the empty argument of "freedom." These things and countless more cause unnecessary pain and suffering to others.
One of the choices I had to make early on as a Dad Blogger was how I would treat my writing and sharing of stories about my family. This isn’t a problem solely dealt with by parent bloggers. It is also an issue any parent who shares information online should think about.
I often wondered how "manly" I really was growing up. I've doubted my own manhood many times. I never really liked sports. I didn't have anything against them, but I also didn't know more than a handful of players names in any given sport. To this day the full scope of rules in a football game elude me.
Putting my two-year-old to bed can be a real chore sometimes.
I got married a week before YouTube launched and over a year before the first iPhone was released to the public. Let that sink in for a minute. My world in 2006 was just starting to use Facebook. Putting together a wedding registry on your own now is a monstrous undertaking. Best Buy, however, is making the wedding registry task easier than ever!
We traveled to California in early October 2015 and really enjoyed ourselves.
