Posts about parenthood from a “modern” dad’s perspective.
This time of year all the sports cliche’s and phrases come out. Phrases like…
That’s because it’s March Madness time! The month of March has become a basketball lover’s dream. Almost like it was created for them. During March you get to watch college basketball’s best teams start their runs to what they hope will end in a championship.
Have you ever gone in your bedroom with your spouse, locked the door behind you, and ignored your kids? My wife and I have, and we plan to do it more often. In fact, we believe doing so consistently is going to improve our marriage.
I’ve written about one my favorite organizations, All Pro Dad, here on my blog in the past. Since I primarily write about marriage and fatherhood you can probably guess why an organization called, All Pro DAD, would be one of my favorites.
