To say these last few months have been nuts would be an understatement. Working full-time, taking two university classes, raising two toddlers, being a husband to my wonderful wife, and staying on top of the myriad of hobbies that I have . I think I’ve juggled things pretty well, only dropping the ball a few [...]

Since turning 3 last week, it is amazing the changes I see happening in my little boy. I guess it actually started shortly before turning three, but it’s definitely something I have noticed within the last month. It’s like a little switch flipped in his head. All of a sudden everything in the world is [...]

I’ve been slacking off in the weight loss realm fro the last couple of months. The busyness of life caught up with me and I just haven’t made it a priority. Mama Bean came across these photos last night which made me realize all of the gains (losses lol) I have made some pretty impressive [...]

Last night friends of ours were having a house warming party. We like our friends and it was a great reason to get out for the evening and spend time with friends, so off we went. I was coming in from a cyclocross race that afternoon so I met my wife and kids there, which [...]

I’m generally pretty good at this parenting thing. Well, I think so. I’m not one of those self-deprecating parents anyway. I’m not perfect by any means, but at the end of the day my kids are happy and healthy and they know I love them and they love me. At its most basic, I think [...]

My son is going through something called the 2 1/2 – 3 year sleep regression (He’s 3 in Oct). And it sucks. He doesn’t want to go to bed, he wakes up multiple times during the night, and he’s up super early. (It doesn’t seem to have affected his napping. It starts when we attempt [...]

Traveling is stressful. Even on the best of days, with little or no problems, traveling is still stressful. It’s all the little things. Did I remember my passport? Do I have the tickets? Will the plane be on time so I don’t miss my connecting flight? What if I sit next to a stinky person? [...]

My son has developed a memory. At 2.5 he’s at that developmental stage where things are changing rather quickly in that little brain of his with huge advancements in everything from his language, to his reasoning, to his memory. Well, I’m sure he’s always had a memory, but now he has the ability to recollect [...]

Music videos don’t usually illicit an emotional response from me, but this one hit home pretty hard. It isn’t something I’ve gone through but it really struck a chord with me as a father. Watch it and get ready for your heart to do flip-flops (not the good kind). I know it’s Nickelback, and most [...]
