  • S3 Ep94: Actions over resolutions, the dad way!
    Resolutions, are they holding you down, or are your actions doing so?
    Around here we focus on our actions, not on our plans!

    This week we focused on 3 things I feel can help you and me as we continue to make our presence felt! 

    1. Self-care: doubling down on doing things that make us happy and doubling down on the people that don't judge us for doing so
    2. Not stressing the things we don't know. We don't have to be perfect, just present
    3. Stop assuming our kids know what we knew at their age, and start educating instead.

    4. S3 Ep93: Self-care: Who's There For You
      Who's going to take care of your child's most valuable asset, YOU?
      Self-Care isn't something we dads focus on but should.

      For this episode, we talk about how the At Home Dads Conference made me realize how important self-care truly is.

      Hope it encourages you to double down on the things you love and the people that love you for it! #FatherhoodIsLit

      Sometimes we do things for our kids that we think are little or small in comparison to other things but in reality, are huge for our kids. This week we cover how little things turned into big things on our side of fatherhood as we celebrated Father's Day with friends.

      • S2 Ep86: Overcoming Clubfoot and more with Christian Penn
        How does a father deal with Clubfoot or any other birth defect his child might have? It starts with faith and research! This week we had our friend Christian Penn of nonprofit Projectivity come through to talk to us about overcoming Clubfoot with his son Max. 
        Chris kept it super real and walked us through how he did it so when we are faced with the unknown, we can also handle our business. Real talk is the best talk and Chris dropped gems.

        • S2 Ep85: Surviving Boring Events
          Taking chances means you will run into boring events. It's part of #dadlife but we can do something about the events we choose to attend. Listen to how we survive and sometimes even avoid boring events by researching them, batching events, and remember why we are there to begin with.
