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.

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.

Fitness for Dads – Part 3: Chin-Ups
Those darn monkey bars were never my friend when I was a kid. I had friends who could swing off them, hang upside down on them, I even know one kid that could do a 1-arm handstand on them. Me? Not a chance. I could barely get through 2 rungs before my grip would give out and I would come crashing down to the sand.

How Text Messaging Has Helped My Marriage
Over at LifeHacker there’s a poll asking readers if they use their cell phone for text messaging more than they do for talking. The debate about whether or not text messaging has its benefits is almost as heated as asking someone, “Which is better, Ford or Chevy?”
