Last week in a post asking if society was finally accepting men as stay-at-home dads, I referenced the “dad-mom.” The term comes from a Tide commercial featuring a stay-at-home dad who is folding laundry while telling us why he’s “being awesome.” Yes. You are totally awesome, bro. At the very beginning of the ad, Captain MORE »
Attaining Work/Life balance is as elusive as the mythical Fountain of Youth. It’s more of an ebb-and-flow-type deal where you bounce back and forth from a storm of work overload to the aimless doldrums of domestic boredom. It’s the extremes of yin and yang with no Zen-like middle ground—well, for me anyway. I know there MORE »

If making resolutions is your things, hey, that’s cool; knock yourself out, especially if it works. That’s the thing, they don’t for me. Two weeks into January, and I’ve MORE »
Spending some quality one-on-one time with the kids has been long overdue, and so, last week, I took my oldest stepdaughter out for coffee where we could chat about whatever over peppermint mochas and cinnamon coffee cake. Each of my stepdaughters are non-stop chatterboxes, but if you had to determine which is the fastest, Stepdaughter MORE »
Last week I posted a story about telling my 9 year-old stepdaughter that Santa Claus didn’t really exist. Now I’m going to tell everyone why he actually does. This weekend, my wife shared with me a story about a single mother named Sharon that she knows in East Texas. Sharon has two children, a son and MORE »
According to People Magazine, HollywoodNews.com, and about a gazillion other celebrity news outlets, Academy Award-Winning actor, George Clooney, once again reaffirmed his answer to a question, I’m sure he’s been asked an infinite number of times: Do you want to be a father? “I’ve always known fatherhood wasn’t for me,” Clooney stated in a recent MORE »
The more I watch NBC’s Up All Night, the more impressed I am with it. The show, in case you’re not familiar with it, stars Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph and deals with what happens when two new parents with successful professional careers decide that mom should keep her job while dad stays MORE »
