Becky and I just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. We were married back in 2004, but our lives together started back in 1997 as high school sweet hearts. People ask us all the time what do we do to have a healthy and happy marriage. I can say that it is bunch of little things…
A Beautiful mess
There I was again. Looking down at the big brown eyes. Those big brown eyes were starting back at me on the verge of filling with tears. She knew that she was caught… red handed & blue faced. The evidence was all around her: paintbrush in the bathroom next to the water-soaked face-paint palette that…
Savor this season
Summer time…a time to slow down. It is the best time of the year for kids. Swimming for hours at the pool, staying up later, going to the movies, bowling, camping, trips to the beach, visiting family, spending every waking hour just being a kid. For Becky and I, it is a time for…
doing the unexpected
Growing up, my parents taught me right from wrong at an early age. I know it was not Ok to steal (learned the hard way at age 6) and it was not ok to hurt others intentionally or by accident. If some one was down, the right thing to do was try and pick them…
They are watching you.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Neutrogena® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. They are watching you. They see you open the door for your wife. They see you give up your seat for that person in the waiting room. They see you taking care of your…
Things I never thought I’d do before I had kids
Last week, Becky emailed me this song, with a little note that said “Happy (almost) Father’s Day. Thanks to you for making me a mom and thanks to ALL of our babies for making you a dad.” Today I want to thank our babies (even though they aren’t really babies anymore) for making me a dad….
Take advantage of every opportunity
For the last week, I have been working in the back yard, trying to finish up a few big projects that I know the kids will love. I have been starting early in the morning and finishing sometime after dark. As much as I just want to get the projects done to have a great back yard,…
How to smile more with your kids
Every day we are given the choice of whether we want to be happy around our kids or if we want to lose our patience and yell. We pick if we want to make jokes with them or tell them to stop being so silly. We get this choice on a daily basis. This…
Coaches are the unsung heroes
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Brita Universal Jug Cooler Filtration System for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I always knew that coaches did a lot. I grew up playing football and I played through my senior year in college. Coaches were always there for us, but it was funny…
The parenting mistake we were making over and over
We have all heard it before. The old Shakespeare quote. “Too much of a good thing.” But is it really true? Can too much of a good thing really be bad? Parents, we all know the answer to this… Yes, especially when it comes to issues with our kids… our parenting mistake boils down to this. It…
