The Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Dad of 5
Ah it's that time again, possibly my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving. I love spending some relaxing time with family, eating great food and not having to stress out about buy gifts for anyone. It's a low stress, carefree holiday and it marks the beginning of the Christmas season. Which, after all, is the most wonderful time…
Kids don't come with a handbook and much of parenting is on the job training. Thankfully for all of you, I have learned a thing or two about being a great parent. As I prepare to become a dad for the 5th time I've decided I should share some of my pearls of wisdom with…

I have mentioned several times that I am a big fan of the chalk board and the dry erase board around the house. I need a calendar to keep myself organized. Yes, I have one on my phone but it doesn't quite replace an old fashioned wall calendar. I have been through quite a few…
I've been throwing around the idea of adding more audio/video content to the site here and I've decided to try out an idea for a series called "Playground Interviews." Where I talk to my kids (ideally on the playground) about issues or topics and get their answers. The idea would be to ask them deep…
So much of what I know about being a man and father, I learned either directly or indirectly from my dad. I am very thankful for his positive influence in my life. I recently connected with a guy by the name of Bolaji Oyejide. He started up Brave Little Heroes which are superhero books about…
