Yo, just so you know, this is NOT a sponsored post. I was not paid or offered any compensation for this post. Just getting that out of the way now. I’m not sure how much of an anomaly I may be but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I live in the […]
As I keep mentioning on this site, it’s never been statistically safer to be a kid in this country. Yes, even safer than when we were kids. Let that sink in for a moment. Yet the freedoms that children have enjoyed for hundreds of years have vanished and to be honest, that scares me as a dad. […]
This post is sponsored by our friends at The Baby Cubby. “Wait, what? Can you say that again doctor?” Surprise! That’s how we felt when baby number two made a sudden and unexpected early entrance into the world last week. While we spent several weeks “gently” prepping for baby, we were convinced we still had […]
By now you’ve probably heard of the VTech data hack that exposed the personal data and photos of upwards of five million customers and their children.

Growing up I spent my summers working as a lifeguard and swim instructor at our local lake. I started as one of the maintenance kids, but as soon as I was able to take my water safety tests I did, and never looked back. I consider it one of the best jobs in the world. […]
When it came to creating a Will for our family, the phrase “I don’t know, what I don’t know” popped into my head A LOT! There’s so much legalese, that I just didn’t know what questions I should be asking or what I needed to research further. With sites like LegalZoom, BuildAWill, LegacyWriter, and more, […]
When your toddler starts talking it’s an exciting time. You get to see - or more accurately hear - their growth and get excited about the entirely new way they can communicate with you.
