What’s Cooking Dad?
While it may seem like more work to have your kids helping to prepare a meal, and it often is – particularly when they’re little – in the end you’ll benefit from having a helper, someone who will be self-sufficient, and who might even cook dinner for you once in awhile.

5 Ways to Prepare Your Kids for a New Sibling
Last April my wife and I received an unexpected reality check: We were pregnant. Again. I’ll be honest with you, it took us a few weeks to warm up to the idea of a third child. We were happy with the two children, and the even numbers made it easy for my wife and I to divide and conquer when it came to bed time and other parental routines.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Max Spaniel Dinosaur Hunt contest! I really enjoyed reading all of the stories about your favorite pets. There’s definitely a lot of “Dinosaur Hunters” out there, all of whom seem to make a positive difference in our lives.

Favorite Summer Pictures
Summer is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the heat and sunshine – it always puts me in a good mood. I even like the humidity, which my wife thinks is crazy! I like doing things outside, especially with the kids. Going to the park, playing ball and watching my son drench himself with the hose while “helping” wash the car.

Max Spaniel: Dinosaur Hunt Giveaway
It’s been a while since I ran a giveaway for readers. It’s not that I haven’t had opportunities, but the ones presented just haven’t seemed right for the site lately. Everyone loves pets though, and my kids instantly took to this fun new book by David Catrow called Max Spaniel: Dinosaur Hunt.

Knowing When the Job is Done
One of the things I hope to do as he’s growing up is to teach my young son how to do a job the right way, from start to finish. I’d like to teach him about starting well, executing well, and finishing well.

Avoiding Chaotic Meals
By the time I’ve finished working all day and have battled through evening rush hour traffic, the last thing I want to deal with at home is more chaos. It’s taken a long time, but my wife and I have come up with some ways that work well for our family to make dinner time a little bit more relaxed and less anxious.

15 Fun Activities for Dads with Preschoolers
Little kids can get majorly bored. My four-year-old son Michael, when he gets bored (and that’s every night), hops around like a jackrabbit with its tail on fire, bouncing off of this bit of furniture and that, twirling and spinning, knocking over whatever might be in his path. It’s not a pretty sight.

Kids – How Many Are Too Many?
This article written by Contributing Writer Matt Pfingsten. I live in Southern California. There are a LOT of people here, and the population grows exponentially every year. Traffic worsens, smog thickens and violence increases. Why don’t I just come right out and say it? It is packed full-o-people. One would be hard-pressed to find an [...]

Have You Really Hugged Your Kids Today?
A lot of guys aren’t very comfortable vocalizing their feelings, and some men struggle with showing affection to the ones they love most. An easy way to demonstrate to your children that you love them is to give them a hug. Even when they don’t ask for one, most kids will be more than happy to accept a hug at any time

Harry Potter Adventure of a Lifetime Contest
The thing I love about the Harry Potter books and films are the thrills and adventures of Harry and his friends. The mix of action, suspense and competition engages me in ways that few other stories can. As I read these books by author J.K. Rowling, I’m reminded that life is meant to be an adventure and the journey is worth documenting.
