Mine won't stop watching it. I actually sat down and watched a couple episodes with them and it's not terrible? Kind of reminds me of stuff from the 90s. They're already begging for action figures and I said absolutely not until they clean their rooms.
My 10 year old said Dad you already told us that joke last week. So I said well I guess you could say it's a RE-run. My wife pretended not to hear me. My son walked out of the room. This is what I live for guys.
Was at the grocery store with my 8 month old when he had what I can only describe as a Code Brown situation. It was EVERYWHERE. Up his back, down his legs, all over my shirt. Some dad came over and was like man that sucks and I looked at him and said if youre not prepared for blowouts you shouldnt b...
Because he heard someone had stolen a base. My 8 year old told me to stop but I saw him smiling so I'm counting that as a win.
Bought a bunch of stuff I probably don't need but you know how it is. You go in for one thing and come out looking like you're building a deck. The worst part is I know I have half this stuff in the garage already. My wife just laughed when I brought it all in.
I was at the grocery store and saw a guy struggling with his toddler in the produce section. The kid was melting down over something. I walked past and said 'Don't worry, it gets easier.' He looked at me like I was insane. I didn't have the heart to tell him that was a complete lie and kids just mel...
Let them design their own pizzas and they went crazy with it. Some were actually pretty good, one was questionable but they ate it anyway. Way more fun than ordering takeout and kept everyone entertained for like 3 hours. Definitely doing this again. Thinking about making pasta from scratch next wee...
We've only been doing it for 2 weeks but honestly it's making me more intentional about my faith. My 6 year old said a prayer last night that was just so pure and honest, asking God to help daddy be more patient. I literally teared up. It's making me realize I need to walk the walk if I want them to...
Been reading a lot lately about honor and duty and what it really means to be a man in 2024. For me it starts with taking care of your business. Paying your bills on time. Not spending money you don't have. Teaching your kids that work has value and that you earn what you get. My father always said ...
One of my boys came home the other day and told me about a fight at school. I immediately went into lecture mode about using his fists. Then I stopped and thought about what I was doing. A real leader doesn't just bark orders. He shows you how it's done through his own actions. I told him I was sorr...
My 7 year old will literally watch Ryan's World for 3 hours straight if I let him. I don't get it but at least he's not asking me to buy him stuff every 5 minutes like he used to. Wife thinks I should limit screen time more but honestly some days I need the break lol
I was always the 'too tired' dad. Too tired to play in the yard, too tired to take the kids hiking, too tired for anything. Couple years ago I was like 80 pounds overweight and my knees were shot. Doctor said I was heading for a heart attack. That scared me straight. Lost the weight, started working...
Tried a new spot near my house last weekend and honestly it might be better than the place I've been going to for 5 years. Got me thinking about what everyone's go-to pizza place is. Drop your recommendations if you got em.
Picked up a Traeger yesterday and spent the whole afternoon figuring out how to set it up and calibrate it. Did a test run this evening with some chicken and it came out incredible. Really excited to dial in my technique. Anyone else have a Traeger? Tips appreciated.
Did a digital detox this week, no screens for 3 days. First two days were rough, they were bored and grumpy. By day 3 they were playing outside and creating stuff. Day 4 I let them back on and they went right back to zombie mode. Worth doing occasionally but man it's a constant battle.
