Founding Fathers and Their Families
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.

Making Friends Like a Man
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 – The “S” Factors: Three Reasons You May Not Be Burning Fat
Your weight workouts are intense and you’re getting better and better with each passing session. Your interval training sessions leave you dripping with sweat and out of breath. Your diet is tight and you’re eating all the fruit, vegetables, protein & healthy fats that’s allowed. Your a health conscious dad setting a good example for your family. But, when you look in the mirror, you still have that annoying little extra ring around your belly that, no matter what you do, you still can’t lose.

The Pressure of Being a Good Husband and Dad
I’m almost thirty-seven. I’m a man, and I’m a husband and father. I find myself thinking very frequently what these things mean, not only in my own life but also in life in general. It makes me think about things like pressure, responsibility and duty.

How to have “The Talk”
It’s getting close to that time. You know the one I’m talking about. It’s the one every parent dreads on some level. One day you wake up and realize your first little baby is grown up and without warning, the impending doom of The Talk is upon you.

Fitness for Dads: Dad, What’s for Dinner?
It’s 5pm. You’re still at work, but tonight you’re supposed to make dinner. The last thing you want to do is order pizza because that’s what you did last night and you can’t bear to ask your wife to cook again this week because TONIGHT is the only night you’re responsible to feed the family. It also happens to be the day that your meeting ran through lunch so you couldn’t pop down to the gym for your workout.

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.

Fitness for Dads – Fixing Your Posture
We stand in line at the ATM, or while talking to the other dads at our kid’s soccer game or when we’re sitting at our desk in the office. No matter where we are, our posture is terrible!
Posture is one of those things that, if not paid any attention to, can really start to affect our health later on in life. Poor posture can be attributed mainly to what we do everyday and living what I like to call an “anterior dominant” life.

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.

Discovering Dad Pledge to Vote
As a dad, it is important to me that I role model civic responsibility to my kids, and the first and most important way that I do that is by exercising my right to vote. The second way I do this is by getting informed and understanding the issues and candidates positions on them. The third way I do this is by getting involved.

Child Poverty in America – Blog Action Day
I grew up in a small town nestled in the mountains of Western Maryland. It was a coal mining town, and the majority of jobs available were for unskilled labor. People didn’t make a lot of money, but they did what was necessary to get by and provide the basics for their family. I saw poverty but not enough to really think about it.

Sailing on America’s Tall Ship – An Adventure of a Lifetime
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.

Stolen Moments – Making Time to be a Couple
Early Thursday morning, while the house was dark and still, my wife and I very quietly slipped out the front door and drove away. My wife and I were engaged in theft: We were stealing time. The kids would never suspect a thing.

A Father’s Pride: Helping His Son Become a Star
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.
