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.

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.

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.

Mud Bog Races – Fun Father Son Day
Every year the local fire company puts on a very popular event on the outskirts of our city. It’s called a mud bog, which is essentially drag racing for country folk. We live in what is called a suburb of Washington, DC, but it is still very much a rural area at the base of the Allegheny mountains. People come from far-and-wide for three things around here – karaoke, gun bonanzas and the annual mud bog races.

Family Fun at the Zoo
We’re fortunate to live in an area where we have access to three zoos. The National Zoo is less than an hour away. The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is within two hours. The Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo is only thirty minutes from our house, so it was an easy choice to pick for a family fun day.

Family Fun at the Beach and Boardwalk
We went on a short family vacation last week to Ocean City for four days. The kids had a blast playing on the beach, even though the water felt like we had a swim call on an Alaskan cruise liner. I don’t understand the science behind ocean water temperature

Memories that Last a Lifetime
We went up to the mountains a few weekends ago. We had the opportunity to rent a quaint little cabin form a friend of Aline’s on the cheap, so we jumped on it. If you have never spent time in the Angeles Forest, I recommend it. I’ve seen a lot of the U.S. landscape, and the California mountains are beautiful and unique in a way that few areas rival.

Enjoying Nature – Waterfalls and Mountain Tops
I love being outside in the summertime. The warm feeling of the sun on my face; the slightly sticky feeling of a mildly humid day; and, the multitude of fun and healthy things to do with family and friends. I really enjoy going hiking, and I wish I made time to do it more often. [...]
