Each day, life will present moments that we take for granted. Winnie the Pooh once said, “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in you heart.” How true this is! 1) For my beautiful wife and the companionship that she offers day-in and day-out. We have known each other since we were 13…
Taking a time out to be a Dad
I am sure that my fellow dads would agree with me when I say that being a dad is one of the best things that life has to offer. Sure, it can get a little crazy sometimes, and maybe even drive you to drink – coke, of course. But all in all, it is a…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Teach For America for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. There are times in life when experiences teach you more than you could ever learn in a book. Nine years ago, Becky taught a little girl in her class that would change the way that…
deal with bullies
Its OK to have a bad day! Sometimes things just don’t go our way and it feels like everything that we want to happen just doesn’t. The goal is to make sure that ONE day doesn’t turn into a habitual problem, or has the “Groundhog” effect. Just like in the 1993 Bill Murray movie, this…
Lies parents tell their kids

The best thing I ever did
So I have mentioned many times that I am a huge sports guy. I love pretty much all sports and I love to watch them as much as I love to play them. I love watching ESPN and SportsCenter. One of my favorite people to watch on TV was Stuart Scott. I grew up watching…

Why dad’s rarely get lice
If you know my wife, you know that she has been nervous about lice ever since she was a teacher. She wore her hair up in a pony tail (in a bun), almost every day of her teaching career. While she knows that she can’t avoid it 100% and that lice actually like…
