“Where’d it go?”, my son asked in disappointment when he woke up this morning, pointing at my face. Apparently he was a fan of my Movember moustache. My 7 month old daughter on the other hand, couldn’t keep her tiny hands off of my clean shaven face today. Throughout the month most joked about my [...]

Well, it’s time to shed a few tears and say goodbye to Movember and my little moustache. Thank you to everyone who donated to the Movember Foundation in behalf of the Dad 2.0 Team and in behalf of me. Here’s the top 5 things people said to me this month. 5. Extra napkins for your [...]
WAIT! Before you head out to buy discounted gadgets and apparel on Friday, here’s a deal that’s better than any you’ll see on Black Friday. With just one dollar, you can donate to a noble cause that is working tirelessly with the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG to save the lives and better the health [...]
Elusive Loch Ness Moustache pictured with baby and father. *Photo has not been authenticated. My hope is that this moustache will be as legendary as the Loch Ness Monster. Few will ever see it. Many will hear about it. Everyone will help it raise money for cancer research. Save the prostates: http://mobro.co/mylifeasadad. The Movember Foundation is [...]
I am 35 years old and I lack the genetics to grow substantial facial hair. Manhood’s right of passage never stared back at me through the mirror. Over the years, this absence of facial hair has left a mark on my character. I like to call it beard envy. Perhaps I should be thankful. It [...]
It’s hard to believe Little Bird is 7 months old. He’s progressing like a textbook baby. His first two teeth have cut through his gums. He takes great interest in trying to grab his ‘lil pup, Spike. He’ll even crawl like G.I. Joe if he sees something worth lunging towards. Lately, he loves to sit [...]
New Mommy recently returned to work after spending Little Bird’s first four months together. With this new transistion in parenthood, I thought back to when I returned to work and felt a sense of withdrawal from baby and mommy 3 weeks after Bird’s birth. Not being home to witness some early milestone moments with Bird [...]
These have been my last days as just any ol’ someone. In a few hours life will cease to exist as I have known it to for 30 plus some odd years. The past 9 months have been a crash course in all things baby 101. Don’t even ask me about proper foods for mom-to-be’s [...]
I used to get asked the tired question all newlywed’s get thrown in their face, the proverbial “So when are you having babies?” question. I always answered, in my smartassery tone of speak, “Oh, soon. I ordered one online. Free shipping!” I usually received the fake smile/fake laugh deal, followed by the “what a smartass” [...]
Do not attempt these techniques yourself without consulting a professional. During her pregnancy, mom-to-be has become somewhat of a light sleeper, and things like the neighbor’s barking dog has been testing her nerves. Lastnight, I was awaken by mom-to-be’s frustrated sighs. “I hate that stupid dog!” she complained. But I was so groggy it sounded [...]
