A Letter
So I would really like to compose a letter expressing my displeasure with the state of one of our local parks. But before I do, I am wondering if your local parks are in a disarray as well? Is this common and I am merely overreacting? We constantly find trash – including, but not limited…
SHAVING THE YEARS AWAY
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Dad Central Consulting for AVEENO. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. The Captain has a love/hate relationship with shaving. There is nothing more refreshing than a clean shave. For several years now, The Captain has begun to gray, so…
How Monsters Began
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 2113. Over the weekend we took both of the kiddos to see Monsters University. As with most things involving kids – this was still an operation. The Eldest was still riding high off her dance recital performance the previous night. Her listening ears were unmatched. She couldn’t wait to…

Dad, The Pro Wrestler
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 2105. I always wanted to be a professional wrestler. I grew up in the WWF (now WWE) era of Hulkamania.

I’m Conspiring Against The Ice Cream Man
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Summer Break Diaper Date 16. The Ice Cream Man is the enemy. This dastardly individual makes his/her way through my neighborhood at inappropriate times and causes a schism between play friends. It is am awkward moment when one friend has ice cream and another doesn’t. The Ice Cream Man knows you…
My Steakcation
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Dad Central Consulting for LongHorn Steakhouse. I received a gift card to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank-you for participating. My family just got back from a great trip to Disney. I discovered the best way to recover from a vacation- I took…
Vacation Workout
Captain’s Log. Disney Chronicles. Day Unknown. Vacation is defined as “(Noun) An extended period of recreation, esp. one spent away from home or in traveling.” Webster apparently has never been to Disney. With children. There is indeed plenty of magic. Part of the magic is the workout you receive. We ride a bus everyday from…
The Overnight Father – A Book Review
While I did receive a free copy of Paul Guzzo’s book, I was not compensated for this review. The following review is not influenced by the writer or a publisher. Not every family story starts with a magic sex rock. I’m imagining the Brady Bunch song right now, and though it may fit in with…
