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.

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.

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.

License to Play
A really cool thing I hadn’t considered before my first child came along is that having kids is a license to do kid stuff again. It’s a license to play. A grown person playing hopscotch or setting up troops of little green army men would be considered bizarre unless that person were playing along with a kid. You have a kid, and you get a free pass to have fun.

5 Life Lessons the Olympics Can Help Teach Kids
The Olympics have always inspired me. One of my earliest memories is of sitting on the living room floor of our home in 1976 watching the Summer Olympic games in Montreal. It was a small black-and-white TV, but I was still enthralled with the many athletes from around the world.

My Toddler’s Top 5 Favorite Things
My 2-year-old son has already gone through many phases. When he first started becoming mobile and active, he really liked to play on his aquarium floor mat, spin in his exer-saucer, push around his blocks and watch Baby Einstein DVDs. A few months later, he moved on to cars, the ball popper toy and Little Einsteins.

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

Top 10 Summer Activities for Dad and Kids
Summertime is a fun time for Dads to do interesting activities with the kids. The weather is nice, and it’s a good time of year to have an adventure. Most importantly, though, it is a great time of year to connect with kids and do things that will create memories for years to come. With that in mind, here is my list…

You Are Your Child’s Favorite Toy
This is a guest post by Daniel from deguia.net. Being a father and raising two great kids is, hands down, the single thing that I am the most proud of. My two children, ages 7 and 3, keep me constantly on my toes and just when I think I’ve got them pegged – their likes [...]

Kung Fu Panda is a Great Movie for Dads and Kids
Action, adventure, comedy and Kung Fu – what more could a Dad want in a movie? I took my daughter Chani to see the movie Kung Fu Panda today, and I’ve got to say it was one of the best kid movies I’ve seen in a long time. It’s a classic good versus evil tale, [...]

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. [...]

I love the summertime. It’s definitely my favorite time of year. It’s so much easier to do things together as a family when the weather is nice outside. My oldest daughter Chani gets to spend multiple weeks with us in the summer, and having her around just warms my heart. Lori and I also planned [...]

Predict Your Kids Future
One of the things that comes up often in my family is conversations about what our kids might be like when they grow up. Everything from eye and hair color, height, weight, smarts, athleticism, skills and personality is pondered. It’s fun to speculate, but we don’t obsess over it. I found a few really cool [...]
