Adventures In Parenting – Guest Post

adventures-in-parenting-thumbKaty, over at Adventures In Parenting, asked me to write a guest post on her blog.  Seeing how I have never written a guest post for another blog, I was instantly excited!  Someone actually likes my stories! 😀

Adventures In Parenting is stuffed full of very helpful tips, advice, and real life experiences for parents.  Here’s a quick excerpt from the about page that explains this site very well…

This site is here to talk about raising our kids to be people of compassion , integrity and character. Here you will find support for you through practical and simple advice on raising “good” kids with conservative values.

The Adventures of a parent are many – the good, the bad, and the ugly! Everything I write on this site are experiences I’ve gone through. Most of the ideas I share have been used with my own children. I don’t have degrees in psychology or child development, but I think 20+ years of being a parent gives me some credibility. Some things you just can’t learn from books.

Go give her blog a read…and don’t forget to read and leave a comment on my post…Set Your Man Pride Aside. 😀

Just thought I would share some of my favorite posts that I have read this week…

Who’s Booze Clues?

Booze Clues

One of my favorite dad bloggers, BusyDad, started the Weekend BlogHoppers club. The blog hoppers club is a group of bloggers who are usually home on weekend nights, tipping back a few cold ones after the kids are in bed, and commenting on other Weekend BlogHoppers club member blogs.

So, stumble on over to the Weekend BlogHoppers club page and join in on all of the fun!

Working Dad

As most of you know, I am a working Dad.  Sometimes I work more than I would like, but it is necessary to support my family.  Here lately working has consumed most of my life.  I think I worked over 70 hours last week, rode on 6 different airplanes, stayed in two different hotels, and stepped foot in Ohio, Colorado, Georgia, and Alabama.

Right now I am sitting in the airport waiting to go on my way back down to Alabama.  I usually do not work weekends, but I volunteered to work the next two weekends. (Who can pass up double and triple time?!)  I do get Christmas day off though, which is good.

So if you don’t see many posts from me over the next few weeks you can bet that I am either rolling in the money that I am making or passed out from exhaustion.

Instead of boring all of you with my ramblings about work, I’ll point you to some of the cool sites and posts that I have discovered this week.

The Stay At Home Dad
The Working Dad over at the Hossman Family Blog recently quits his job to be a Stay At Home Dad, and shares his thoughts and considerations leading up to the decision.

TheFatherLife.com
This is a new magazine that states, “We are the only men’s magazine geared toward fathers; a magazine for guys who work hard, play hard, and father hard!“.  Check ’em out!

DadGoneMad.com
This Dad was featured on TheFatherLife.com in the Dad Blog Spotlight.  After reading the excerpt from his post about getting a vasectomy…I knew this guy was getting a spot in my feed reader.  🙂

SupDad.com
SupDad is a social community for parents. “a place for dads…and moms to talk about what’s important…the kids!”  I just started a profile, but after having a look around it looks like a pretty cool place!  If you happen to join add me as a friend!

Congratulations!

Just wanted to give a quick congratulations to ManAndHisBaby.  They had their baby boy on 12/5 at 9:08 AM.  Go give him a congrats and also check out his blog for some “Adventures Of A New Daddy”.
