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.

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. 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.

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.

Have You Really Hugged Your Kids Today?
A lot of guys aren’t very comfortable vocalizing their feelings, and some men struggle with showing affection to the ones they love most. An easy way to demonstrate to your children that you love them is to give them a hug. Even when they don’t ask for one, most kids will be more than happy to accept a hug at any time

Fitness for Dads – Getting in Shape: Part 1
It’s all happened to us before. It’s late at night. You just get home from one of those crazy parties with the in-laws. The kids are asleep in the back (for me, all 4 of them are asleep) and you don’t want to wake them. So now, you have the task of picking them up out of their seats, laying their heavy heads on your shoulder and carrying them from the car into bed. Sound familiar? I do it almost every time we have a family get together.

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.

Mud Bog Races – Fun Father Son Day
Every year the local fire company puts on a very popular event on the outskirts of our city. It’s called a mud bog, which is essentially drag racing for country folk. We live in what is called a suburb of Washington, DC, but it is still very much a rural area at the base of the Allegheny mountains. People come from far-and-wide for three things around here – karaoke, gun bonanzas and the annual mud bog races.

How to Stay Young at Heart
How often do you wake up in the morning and say, “Wow – I feel old today!” I’ve been feeling this way too often lately. Maybe it’s a lack of sleep or other ailments, but being in my 30’s, I feel like I should still be more young at heart. So I’ve decided to reinvigorate some healthy habits

Family Fun at the Zoo
We’re fortunate to live in an area where we have access to three zoos. The National Zoo is less than an hour away. The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is within two hours. The Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo is only thirty minutes from our house, so it was an easy choice to pick for a family fun day.
