Family is not an important thing. It’s everything. Michael J. Fox

Amber wants this to be a family blog, not just another mom blog.  So this is my first Dad Blog contribution.   I guess it should be more of a dad blogger introduction post.  

Random Facts about me, the new dad blogger 

• Father to 3 amazing kids.
• I met the love of my life by offering her a slice of pizza in the Caribbean.
• Certified Scuba Diver
• Classically trained cartographer but I also love Satellites and GIS work.
• I mapped a cave for the Sheik of Dubai.
• Favorite Movie is Wyatt Earp.
• Amber made me take a salsa dance class with her, and I caught Mono from the instructor.  She doesn’t ask for dance classes anymore.

• After I finish writing this, can I add Dad Blogger to my list of randoms?  

My goal dad blogging topics are 

• Sports
• Politics – International Relations was my Minor in college.  
• Environmental Issues
• Video Games
• DIY Projects, I can fix anything.   
• Raising Future Major League Baseball Stars.
• Music and Jazz Hands.
• Frugal tips maybe?  Tip number 1, take away Amber’s credit cards.  (not really, she makes her own money)
• Friends, making adult friends is a complicated issue.
• I’m considering podcasting / vlogging.  

 

My parenting goals 

• Raising good people.
• Getting the boys to poop in the toilet.
• We are really winging the rest of it.

 

Amber likes to travel, I just carry the bags and hold on for the ride.    I took off Wednesday to go with her to get the boy’s passports done so that stops holding us back.   I should go buy her flowers now because she’s a grump today.  

 

Now I have a favor from you?  Who are your favorite dad bloggers?  Is there a dad blog handbook?  Dad Blogging Etiquette?  Where do I find the best dad bloggers?
