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.

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.

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.

Transition – Five Songs that Make Me Think
I’ve been going through a transition in my life for a few months now. It started a couple weeks after we brought our newest daughter Caitlin home from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after a rough start to her life.

Top 10 Reasons Why Dads are Hotter than Guys Without Kids
The other day I was eating lunch with my daughter Frankie. We were enjoying cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. As meals sometimes go in my house, it turned into a battle of wits to see who could trick the other into taking a bite. After a mad flurry of bites mixed with screams and giggles, I ended up with cream cheese smeared on my face and strawberry preserves matted into my hair. It was HOT!

My Toddler’s Top 5 Favorite Things
My 2-year-old son has already gone through many phases.
