Discovering Dad Wins Fantasy Football Dad League
It’s official! Discovering Dad has won the Fantasy Football Dad League hosted by fellow dad blogger Pat from Annoyingly Boring! Playing in a fantasy league definitely helps to make the football season more exciting to watch. While my favorite team is the Ravens (my team name is Discover the Ravens), it’s fun to cheer for individual players and talk a little trash on league message boards.

On July 4, 1776, the birth of a great nation was signified by the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Fourth of July has always been a favorite holiday for me. I remember anxiously anticipating fire works displays and patriotic parades, but most importantly I remember spending time together as a family celebrating life in the greatest country on Earth.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for many women to make friends of other women? Most seem to be innately tuned into the social steps necessary to establish and maintain relationships. Men on the other hand, not so much.

Fitness for Dads – Part 3: Chin-Ups
Those darn monkey bars were never my friend when I was a kid. I had friends who could swing off them, hang upside down on them, I even know one kid that could do a 1-arm handstand on them. Me? Not a chance. I could barely get through 2 rungs before my grip would give out and I would come crashing down to the sand.

Unlike my friends who spent the summer before sophomore year working and partying, I shipped off on a summer tour of duty. I flew with my fellow swabs in the cargo bay of a C130 airplane across the Atlantic to Lisbon, Portugal.

Most dads dream about his little boy playing college football or being a major league baseball player. It is in the Dad DNA. But mostly, it is a dream so that we can keep our mind from wandering during all those never ending T-Ball games. I lived that dream and I thought my, er, our story would be helpful to others.

Make Time for Yourself – Know When to Tap Out
I’m exhausted after a long day at work. All I want to do is go home and relax. As a parent, though, my day is not done when work is over. Parenting is my second full-time job. It’s challenging to maintain a balanced life with so many competing priorities at work and home. Every once in a while, I need a break from things to recharge my batteries and find that balance.

You Are Not Peter Pan Anymore
There seems to be a common theme among fathers, especially first-timers like myself. At one point or another, they seem to have a hard time accepting the fact that, from the day their child was born, their lives were changed. They were no longer able to indulge in the reckless abandon they experienced in their pre-baby years.

What do you want to know about dads? What do you want to know about Discovering Dad (me)? I’d like to try something new, and if it works then I’ll commit to doing it once or twice a month. I’ve seen it done on other sites, and I always enjoy reading question and [...]
