The Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Dad of 5
I've never been a morning person. Ever. Everyday as a kid getting up for school was such a battle. I can remember dragging myself downstairs to the kitchen table and falling back asleep waiting for my mom or dad to get me a bowl of cereal or a pop tart or whatever I was eating…
As the days are counting down until our fifth baby is due I realized I needed to get my bag ready, the bag that I'll take with me to the hospital when my wife goes into labor. It's well documented what you need to take for mom and the baby but dad is often overlooked…
Much to my delight, I was invited back on the Dad Bros Show podcast. They saw that I recently had my one year blogiversary so they let me celebrate with them a little bit. If you haven't had a chance yet to catch one of their shows you are missing out. They are a couple…

As many of you know, I have had the pleasure of being on the Dad Bros podcast twice (episode 18 & 36 ). Earlier this week I had the pleasure of also being on the Screaming Dad's podcast . As a bonus it was a video podcast so you can actually see me in my…
Stay-at-Home dads are still relatively uncommon. We blend in with the crowd and look almost like any other guy but if you know the signs you can spot us from a mile away. I'm not trying to start some stereotype war , I'm just trying to have a laugh at myself. These may or may…
