Being A Dad with Motivated Choices

Hello and Welcome Home!

Learning what being a dad is all about is an ongoing journey, isn't it? We go through so many "life lessons" and we begin to think we might just be okay at this whole dad thing and BAMM!

Being a Dad: Embracing Failure (in more ways than one)

Being a Dad: Embracing 'Dad Thoughts'

Hello and Welcome Home!

I have no idea where all of January went. I can't believe it's already almost over. Being a dad that works full-time I often think about what may be going on at home.

Hello and Welcome Home!

Overcoming fear while being a dad isn’t as easy as it looks to be on paper, is it? In fact, when it comes to actually embracing the role of being a dad, we dads tend to get lost in the things of our own imagination.
