Got a chance to interview my oldest and find out what traditions meant the most to him.  Pretty enlightening conversation and very proud at how mature he has become.

More on what traditions have been important to us, with a clip from an interview with my youngest before he headed off to college.

You don't always know what will start a tradition but many times you create memories and great experiences that turn into something more than just an event.  No clips from the old show (The DaddyCast episode 3 - March 2006) but I summarize our weekend at the beach.

I also talk a little about diet and exercise, and my success with the CoachMarkCarroll.com challenges (next one starts October 5th)

Going back to The DaddyCast episode 2, there was a lot of depressing news to report.  But it did open up the topic of liberty vs safety - how to helicopter parents find balance?

Not routine spanking, luckily the need to get their attention was rare.  Reviewing the first episode from February 2006 where I talked about our Saturday routine and when spanking might be warranted.   Also, some recent comment from my youngest on what he remembers about being spanked.

Bringing back the podcast.  Intro to the concept, a review of what was shared on the original episodes between February 2006 and January 2012.  This is just an introduction and an update on what has been going on since the original DaddyCast stopped over 8 years ago.
