motherhood

I don’t have kids. I like kids, and probably someday I will want some of my own, but I’m not in a hurry. I have lots of life to live still. Thankfully, I am still in the phase of my life where most of my friends are getting engaged and married, not yet having babies, so there haven’t been too…

How to Influence Our Kids the Right Way

PTPAApril 20, 2016

You know when you know something about yourself, but refuse to admit it to yourself? Only to have someone else say it to you. Yeah, been there recently and it wasn’t fun.

10 Things I Swore I Wouldn’t Do As A parent

PTPAApril 8, 2016

When I look at young people today and all the bravado they have when they say things, I just shake my head. What have they experienced? NOTHING.

How to Survive Mom’s Extended Getaway

PTPAMarch 25, 2016

I love my wife. She does so much for our family. First of all, it’s because of her we have a family. Pushing out 4 babies, homeschooling them, and running a successful business…..all from home.

5 Revelations of Being a Business Trip Dad

PTPAFebruary 13, 2016

This was new to me. “Business trip life” was something I thought was only reserved for the accomplished, educated individual that either had 1.5 kids, or none to speak of. Now that being said, I’m pretty accomplished in my career field, and although I don’t hold any diplomas or degrees, I’d say I’m fairly educated based on my job title.…

The Moment I Realized I Was A Part-Time Dad

PTPAJanuary 22, 2016

What’s a part time Dad? Seriously, what does that really mean? It’s simple. You’re either a dad or you’re not. You either father your children or don’t father them. You can’t be a “half” father.
