Navigating The Stormy Waters Of Fatherhood
Defying Gravity? Dadletes do that, but why? If you consider the strength and concentration it takes to defy gravity, it is a worthy foe for a Dadlete.

CozyPhones solved a problem for me. That’s right – this cute little Froggy headband solved one of my problems. And if you have kids, I’m guessing you have had this problem too. There are two inherent problems with things that emit sound – 1. Not everyone wants to hear the sound. 2. You can’t…
A Dadlete Under Where? I used to be an athlete. In my head I was an elite athlete. In reality, I was simply average. But I did all the things – I lifeted, I ran (when I had to), I did plyometrics, I lifted, I threw heavy things. I practiced, practiced, and practiced. I remember…

The DM+C video that is currently out is about celebrating the father figures in our lives outside of our…
The wait is over. Lightning McQueen is back in Cars 3. Here are 3 things you need to know about the new movie Cars 3! Can you see the movie if you haven’t seen the other two? In a word. Yes. The plot does fit in with the backstory of the previous two movies,…
I have partnered with Life of Dad and Boudreaux’s Butt Paste® for this sponsored post. My words and thoughts are my own. The diaper rash used to belong to my kiddos – until we used Boudreaux’s®.

Sydney hated the rain. She loved the puddles and the mud, but she hated the rain. She was a funny, energetic dog. Those who met her knew she was a boxer through and through. She never met a stranger that didn’t become an instant friend, and she hated being where people weren’t. Thirteen years ago,…
