The Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Dad of 5
Like most people who have little kids will tell you, they can say the craziest things sometimes. My kids are no different. They are always making some off the wall and usually funny comment. It also seem that the crazy second child , Greyson, is the biggest culprit. I decided this past week I was going…
If you've been keeping up with my blog at all, you know we love the summer here in the Sunshine State and we've been anxiously awaiting its arrival all winter. In fact, not too long ago, I wrote a love letter of sorts to Summer . Needless to say, we are all excited that we…
Good afternoon everyone! I hope all of the Americans enjoyed Memorial Day yesterday. I think I saw where yesterday was Bank Day in the UK but I'm not positive about that and I have no idea what Bank Day even is. I could google it but I'm feeling lazy. Feel free to set me straight…
We were sprucing up our budget last month and I realized I had gotten lazy with our grocery budget. I buckled down and starting doing things that worked for us in the past. I've decided to share a few of the ways we try to keep our grocery bill as low as possible while feeding…
In the scheme of things I haven't been blogging very long, just over 6 months but in that time I have learned a lot and I have seen the blog grow and gain some good momentum. I never could have imagined the support I would have from people all over the world reading my posts…

When we were headed to the hospital for the birth of our first child I really didn't know what was about to happen. I had read a couple parenting books and we had discussed what our parenting plan was going to be but all of that started after the baby was born. My wife was…
Road trips with little kids can be a daunting task but it's not impossible and with the proper planning and preparation it can actually be a mildly pleasant time. The key is to fend off boredom and reduce the amount of times you are asked "Are we there yet?" We have taken several road trips…
There is a song right now that's quite popular and pretty catchy. It's called Uptown Funk, it's by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars.

Well we are finally live after a little bit of delay. As you may know, my wonderful co-host Lysa does most of the heavy lifting as far as getting this link-up ready every week. Well she has been on an epic road trip the past few weeks and if you've ever been on a road…
Every year for Mother's Day I stress out about what to get my wife. I prefer to give sentimental gifts that can have value beyond Mother's Day. So things like jewelry or framed photos instead of flowers or a spa day. I understand women love flowers and spa days and those things might be part…
Nothing is more awesome than the birth of your first child. You get to experience so many things for the first time. And while parenting is difficult and sleep is hard to come by, you persevere and you become the best possible parent you can. You have read the books, you have gotten advice from…
