A Fathers’ New Years Resolutions

For many of us we will walk into the new year with grand aspirations about what we will do, or what we hope to accomplish this year. We call them resolutions, but unfortunately, for most of us they tend to become null and void pretty close to the same time that we make them. This is especially true with exercise. So many stores at the beginning of every year put sales on exercise equipment because they know that pe Read More...

Safety First: Fears and Best Laid Plans

The idea for this post came to me after a comment I received on my blog from a close friend of mine, The Bolt. After reading his comment and talking with him during that day, I started thinking more about safety and what part we as dads play in the safety of our children. It comes as no surprise that one of the primary fears for me as a dad is the fear for my children’s safety. I think that is probably a prim Read More...

Thanksgiving Tidings from DadRevolution

I asked the dads here to say a little about what Thanksgiving means to them and what they are thankful for. Here is what a few of them have to say: SeattleDad – Thanksgiving, to me, like most everyone is about family, food, relaxation, and taking stock of what is important in your life.  Four years ago, my wife and were struggling with the concept that we were not going to have kids of our own, and had d Read More...

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned

What is the value of teaching your child the value of money and the value of entrepreneurship at an early age? The picture you see here was a few years ago when my daughter (then at age 3 and ¾) took her first venture into being a saleswoman. At a two-day rummage sale she wanted to sell cookies and kool-aid so we put up the money for the supplies and let her have her shot at making some money. During the first d Read More...

Thoughts and Questions on Time Passing

This week marked a huge milestone in our family. My son started his first year at preschool. Gladly he took off out the door, backpack on, and a big ole smile. That cute, charming, carefree, loving little soul just marched right on down to school without second thought of the fact he would not be with Mommy and Daddy for the rest of the morning. Seperation anxiety? None. At least not for him. Mommy and Daddy (and l Read More...

Response to Fatherfolk and the challenge to be more

On Sunday night Aaron over at Father Folk wrote an open letter to the dads over at Dad Revolution, a letter challenging us to be more. Please take five minutes and go over and read the letter before we continue…. You read it right? Good stuff huh. That letter went up late Sunday night, was taken down and then went back up Monday night. You see Aaron took a little heat for posting that, it seems some still don Read More...

Viva La Revolucion!

First, I’d like to say that it is an honor to have been asked to join a group of men who are also passionate about being great fathers and sharing their journey. I think that this “Dad Revolution” is a long time coming and feel blessed to live in an age where technology can connect dads from all over the world. When I started my family at the age of 20, I was often alone because I wanted to do  Read More...
