The Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Dad of 5
Potty training is a necessary evil in every parents life. I don't know anyone who would describe it as fun but then again changing your child's diapers for their entire life isn't going to be fun either. At some point, sooner or later (hopefully sooner) you will potty train your child. Sometimes these things go…
What's up with #2? Why is it that more often than not the second born child is crazy? That's certainly the case with our second child. I often think of him as my own personal Charles Dickens "He's the best of times, he's the worst of times" His name is Greyson and I have found…

There will come a day when I'll have to have "The Talk" with my boys. The sex talk. The birds and the bees. The "Where do babies come from?" talk. I can't say I'm necessarily looking forward to it but I'm not overly stressing out about it either. I've got a few years before I…
Every year when I was younger, my dad would let me miss a week of school and take me on a hunting/camping/fishing trip in the panhandle of Florida on the Apalachicola River. It is an area that almost seems to take you back in time, back before we paved everything and put up buildings. A…
