I want to lead my family spiritually but honestly bedtime prayers feel awkward and forced sometimes. I sit there and pray these generic kid prayers and I don't feel like I'm really teaching them anything meaningful about having a real relationship with God. How do you guys make prayer feel authentic...
This might seem small but after years of my wife doing all the breakfast stuff, I finally nailed my pancake recipe. Added a little vanilla and the fluffy factor just clicked. My 4 year old asked for seconds and said they tasted like clouds. I'm riding this high all week.
A dozer. My kids did not appreciate this one but I thought it was gold.
Spent way too much money on a soundbar and some bookshelf speakers but man the difference is insane. Playing Call of Duty feels like I'm actually in the game now. Wife is definitely not happy about the cable management though lol.
My old man passed two years ago. Last week I put his college ring on my right hand. It's a 1968 class ring, solid gold, initials on the inside. He was a man of few words but he led by example. He showed up. He took care of his family. He treated everyone from the CEO to the janitor with the same res...
Just wanted to share something positive. Been a stay at home dad for 2 years now and I was honestly in a really dark place. Started going to the gym 4 times a week about 6 weeks ago and I'm telling you guys, it's been a game changer. My anxiety is way down, I'm sleeping better, and I just feel more ...
We finally finished the kitchen remodel and I am absolutely exhausted but also proud. Pulled out the old cabinets myself, refinished the hardwood, installed new counters and sink. Spent basically every Saturday and Sunday from March through June working on it while my wife watched the kids. It was w...
Third time this month she's kept the kids an extra day without asking. I had plans and had to cancel. When I texted about it she just said they were having fun and didn't want to disrupt them. How am I supposed to plan anything if I can't trust the schedule? Do I need to go back to court over this o...
Got a note from school today that made my whole week. Apparently during circle time the teacher asked what makes someone a hero and my 8yo said her dad because I help her practice soccer and I never yell even when she messes up. Never thought I was doing anything special but apparently it's getting ...
Been working with him all summer and today he finally got it. He must have fallen 20 times but kept getting back up. Watched him pedal all the way down the driveway and I literally teared up. My wife was filming and I'm never going to forget this moment. So proud of this kid.
Getting tired of the same old burgers and hot dogs routine. Got a nice Weber and some time this weekend. Looking for something that will impress the family but not too complicated. Thinking ribs maybe? Anyone got a tried and true recipe that doesn't require a ton of prep?
My 6 year old has been working on this joke for like a week and told it at dinner tonight. It wasnt even that funny but he NAILED the delivery and timing. The whole family was laughing, not at the joke but because he was so proud of himself. That little guy had the biggest smile. That's the stuff yo...
Never done it before. Got a 14 pounder from Costco. Doing it overnight on my new offset smoker. Read like 47 different guides and watched YouTube videos till 2am. Setting alarms to check temp every couple hours. My brother in law is coming over which is both good because he's done this before but al...
My wife is breastfeeding and I feel kind of left out. I try to do diaper changes and I hold him but most of his time is with her. Are there other ways I can bond with him and feel more involved in this process? Don't want to be just the guy who changes poops.
Made spaghetti and meatballs from scratch. Usually my cooking attempts get the 'ew what is this' treatment but tonight my 4yo asked for seconds and my 8yo said it was better than mom's. Don't tell the wife but I'm feeling like a kitchen legend right now.
