Making Housework Easier With the iRobot Roomba 870

Our floors have never looked so good. Seriously. The scheduling thing is a life saver. Life is busy and always full of things to do. The iRobot Roomba 870 has been able to take care of our floors when we can't take care of them ourselves. Its available for purchase at Best Buy right now. Now that we have one in our home I can't imagine ever giving it up.

Hug The Ones You Love

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.

Five Of My Favorite ‘Star Trek’ Episodes with Leonard Nimoy as Spock #LLAP

I grew up watching Star Trek reruns on TV and watched the movies on repeat through elementary, middle and high school. Spock was an iconic character from the future brought to life in only the way Leonard Nimoy could have done. I had wanted to meet him in person, but sadly was never afforded the chance. The way I view the world was largely shaped by this practical and logical (sometimes even playful) character in a fictitious science fiction universe. I'm sad to see him gone.

I Could Have Used This Kit When Mr. Dude Was Born

I was clueless when I first became a dad. My childcare experience consisted of knowing that dropping a baby is bad and how to make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. The first diaper I ever changed was Mr. Dude's on the day he was born. I'd "watched" my nephews once or twice, but never for over an hour and always with the assistance of a television.

The New ‘Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy’ is at Best Buy and I Love It #dysonunfiltered

My wife and I got married young. I worked at a grocery store and she at a fast food restaurant back then. We were happy, but didn't have much. The household items we owned were basic and mostly got the job done. That was almost ten years ago. We've not been pleased with any of the vacuums we've used over the last several years. That is until we got the new Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy.

Unofficial Baby Milestones

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.
