Though my role has changed in a traditional sense, my Biblical responsibilities have not. This has come to be my mantra. Since I have started this blog I have seen several eyebrows rise when I share with people my upcoming role as a stay-at-home dad. Even though my wife and I have switched roles as… Continue Reading
My experience thus far leads me to believe sleep is a luxury. A wonderful gift I am not always entitled to have. Parents promised me that sleep would be the first to go once the baby arrived- they weren’t kidding. I can’t complain. Andrea has spent most of the time with Owen during the night.… Continue Reading
Today marks my first product review. I doubt this series will be your typical product review that you find on most baby blogs. For the most part I have no idea what I am talking about. I have little experience in using baby products and don’t have a budget to compare and contrast multiple products.… Continue Reading

Being a father has been great for my prayer life. I don’t think there has been a time when holding Owen that I haven’t said some sort of prayer for him. One reoccurring prayer is that my son will some day have a close relationship with God. I want Owen to enjoy God in his… Continue Reading
Three weeks into fatherhood and it still catches me off guard when people ask. So what’s it like being a new dad? I must look like I am learning I am a father for the first time when I say, “…It’s …surreal.” You would think my time off would have offered me ample time to… Continue Reading
Becoming a dad introduces a stiff learning curve. Somehow I made it through the pregnancy without causing too much damage to my wife and kid. I was fortunate enough to have other guys who are ahead in this journey share their wisdom. This helped tremendously with meeting the needs of my wife while managing work,… Continue Reading
