What’s poppin’! Unlike Jack Harlow, I don’t have a new whip to hop in. However, like Jack Harlow, I have spent a lot of time locked in. Well, figuratively speaking, because of COVID-19, and not having many places to go. Anyhoo, today we’re talking playground rules during these unique times. You see, taking things step by step, day […]
It’s a sunny, muggy Friday afternoon in August, and I’m standing on the field of Atwood Stadium, in Flint Michigan, with my family. It’s busy here, full of kids and adults interacting with each other. There’s an excitement in the air, too. Lots of laughter. Lots of smiles.

If left to their own devices, they could spend […]

And when you do get that feeling, don’t resist, just go with it. I felt that nudge recently, and that’s how I ended up at the Dad 2.0 Summit. For the uninitiated, Dad 2.0 is […]
I’ve mentioned before on this site that one of the best things about being a parent is sharing my interests with my kids. Take basketball, for example. It’s always been my favorite sport. B’s picked up on that vibe and become a huge hoops fiend, too. If he’s not playing ball, then he’s talking about it constantly. It’s that […]
Make no mistake about it, the bedtime routine in our house still kind of sucks.
