Today was a very stressful day. And almost none of that stress had anything to do with caring for my two boys. However, as you know, I have been diligently trying to potty train my eldest son (now 2 1/2 years old). Since my last post I have tried to implement a strategy of repetition of [...]

My boys are both still young enough to be bathed together. So, a few days ago that’s just what I was doing. As I put my two year old in the tub, he looked down in amazement and shouted, “Look, Daddy, my PEE-NAS!”

Beginning Monday, August 23rd, I will post a [...]

OK, so this is not the topic I had intended to write about today. But, like other Modern Day Dads, I’ve got to be flexible and ready to move on the fly!
Being a freelance writer offers me the ability to work from my home office and avoid a daycare expense by keeping the kids myself. [...]

Today I want to put in my two cents regarding a debate that has been raging about the country…Health Care Reform.
As a Dad, concerned about both the health of my family and how I’m going to pay for it, I’ve been trying not to get too overwhelmed by the rhetoric out there and still get the [...]
