A Lesson from Langston

Posted on April 19, 2017 by captaincreed

Better Parenting through Fiction:  Langston Hughes is one of my favorite writers. I could tell you why, but that is another post. Recently, I read Thank You Ma’am with my students and saw it with fresh eyes. If you are unfamiliar with the story, I highly recommend it. It is a short read. Read it. Or listen…

A Brilliant Smile Part 1

Posted on April 12, 2017April 12, 2017 by captaincreed

I have partnered with Smile Brilliant Ventures for this post. While I have received product and compensation, my thoughts, words, and smile are my own. Please note that I am not a medical expert. Though I am sharing my experience with this product, you should seek the advice of your own dentist before beginning any…

Headed to Brickworld

Posted on March 5, 2017March 5, 2017 by captaincreed

The Lego brick has been with me my entire life. Some of my earliest memories are with tinkering with bricks from various sets that I owned – making my own creations. Flash forward to fatherhood and the Legos are still here. Now I tinker and encourage the imaginative creations with which my kids create, and…

Ordinary People 

Posted on February 27, 2017February 27, 2017 by captaincreed

The ordinary people didn’t make it on my wall.  Like so many other kids, my walls were coated with posters and clippings of stars. Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Mark McGwire, Jennifer Capriatti (one of my first pro crushes), Mark Price, Nolan Ryan, Charles Barkley. The list could go on and on.  I wrote phrases on…

Berry Funny Mornings

Posted on February 5, 2017 by captaincreed

I have partnered with Life of Dad and Cheerios for this campaign, but my opinions are my own. So are my bowl and spoon – except for when my kids steal them. Which is all the time. So fine – my opinions ARE my own, but my bowl and spoon are not. Happy kids?  Mornings…

Think: A Lovely Beard

Posted on January 31, 2017February 6, 2017 by captaincreed

I think have discovered a secret. I think I have.  I think I know where thoughts come from.  Have you ever watched someone have a think or develop one?  They usually are touching their chin or their forehead when they do. Now, I realize that some will say this is a nervous habit, a sign…

An Outdoor Steakhouse for the #KingofSoup #Spon

Posted on January 25, 2017 by captaincreed

I have partnered with Life of Dad and Idahoan® Foods for this campaign and have been compensated,  but my opinions are my own. And so is my soup. Going out to eat is a privilege, enjoying the taste of a fine meal should not be. But sometimes life does not agree with your mealtime ambitions….

Peace, Love, and Dreams

Posted on January 16, 2017 by captaincreed

The ideas of peace, love, hard work, and understanding are core elements of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And on a day that we recognize not only the man, but the impact that he had on us as a country, I think it is important to reflect on some of his words….

A Charmed Life

Posted on January 2, 2017January 2, 2017 by captaincreed

Everyone has their own set of traditions that they follow. Some are to celebrate history. Some are to honor the past. And some are just fun – like ours. Each New Year’s Day, my wife’s family has a tradition that involves charms and pound cake. My mother-in-law painstakingly bakes a pound cake, often times two…
