Breakthrough today. As a dad, I believe one of my primary responsibilities is to teach my songs and daughters everything I can about failure; how to fail well, what kind of failure is acceptable/unacceptable, how to learn more about failure, etc. Today, I learned a little bit more about [...]
It was almost 11am and I found myself in a tough spot. My wife and I enjoy exercising together on Saturdays. It's a routine during this season of life (for about a month and a half now) that we have found to spend together that involves not talking about [...]
As we sat there tired, stressed, and frustrated with what we just realized was our weekly schedule, my wife finally blurted out what I had been mulling over myself: "Why are we making ourselves so busy? Are we not allowed to relax?" We had been discussing the upcoming [...]

Repost from The dadcade I’m lucky enough to not only be able to enjoy a good video game, but my wife does as well. We played great co-op games together like Gears of War, Resident Evil 5, Portal 2 to name a few. When we couldn’t find a two [...]
