Planning our Frito-Lay and Skylanders party while saving money-giveaway too #ad

Two things: it’s good to have fun and it’s good to save money. Skylanders is also good. Skylanders SWAP Force is also good fun. One of the great things about Skylanders is that every kid who plays the game immediately has a favorite and it’s difficult enough to be competitive, but not impossible. Speaking of a favorite have you voted for your favorite member of the Skylanders Trap Team™ hero finalists yet?

Here is the #PowerofDad that I’m teaching our kids

It’s great fun being a dad. Like it or not those little people, display characteristics that are just like us. Sometimes in my head I run the highly unproductive argument of questioning if I’m over compensating for my personal flaws in the way that I parent. But then if I over emphasize something doesn’t that just make them more curious about it and more likely do or try it? Then the time space continuum bends and that photo of me from high school starts to fade away into nothingness.

Ditch the script on fatherhood #WorldsToughestJob #ad

Recap: I’m a stay at home dad. I get the blessing of being around our two children all day long. It is the #WorldsToughestJob. Some would view this as an albatross and others as a complete blessing. And to be honest it all depends on what time of day as to how I would answer that question. However, once the dust settles my answer will always be that it’s an honor and privilege to be a father.

Here’s why I cut off the crust to our son’s sandwich

Prior to being a parent it was easy for me to judge. Sheesh those kids are loud-Why is that person bringing a stroller in here-really, a child at a beer festival? Now that I’m a parent the only one of those situations that makes sense is the beer festival one, really people, get a sitter.
