How to Deal with Getting Fired
Life is full of challenges, and parents teach their kids a lot by how they deal with adversity. Here is one Dad’s story about How to Deal with Getting Fired: I work in marketing and advertising. This means I get fired. A lot. Unfortunately, being laid off comes with the territory in this career field. Over the years, I’ve read many books on transitioning, job-seeking, interviewing and networking, but I have yet to come across any literature that deals with how to gracefully deal with getting canned.

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.

New Year Quotes to Inspire Dad
The dawning of a New Year always brings me hope. And while I’m not one to make resolutions, I do believe in the importance of goals, inspiration and motivation. To me, it is critical for husbands and fathers to set a positive tone and example for the family, especially during times of uncertainty.

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.

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.

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.

Don’t Rob Your Kids
A lot of parents rob from their children. I don’t mean they take money or possessions, I mean they take opportunities for growth. And they do it with the best of intentions.

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.

Raising Daughters
Alright, parents, it’s confession time: As dads raising daughters, we’re all at an immediate disadvantage because we’ve never known what it’s like to grow up as a little girl. Are you ready for another confession? I tend to be a “My way or the highway” sort of dad, and it’s a daily challenge to be firm with the rules while still letting my kids be kids.

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.
