How to Be a Dad

How to Be a Dad

NOTEBOOK

Our commentary, our experiments, our failures (more often than not) and our experiences in the field. Except for the ones our wives won’t let us share. This is our lives as dads.

Tasers for Kids

Posted by on April 22nd, 2013, under NOTEBOOK

I rarely, if ever, give a full-fledged piece of parenting advice. I’m not a fan of “the authority” or specialists or people telling me how to live my life, but I think it’s time I finally take a dip in the “this is how you do it” parenting pool. It’s a dirty pool, by the [...]

It has been two weeks since our book came out and we are still getting so much love from you all. It makes our insides bubbly. In the nice way. We thought it would be a good idea to show off some of the awesome articles, photos and videos we’ve received, and humbly say thank [...]

Take a Stroll with Me (A Wedding Poem)

Posted by on April 4th, 2013, under NOTEBOOK

I know it’s not Shakespeare or Poe. Worse than that, I know it’s basically crappy High School poetry that should have stars and hearts penciled in around its margins, and I’ve resisted an itching temptation to edit it or improve it before sharing it, but I can’t. It’s my poetry, for my wife, and that [...]

Who Is Richard Bushman REALLY? (April Fool’s Reveal Part 3-4)

Posted by on April 1st, 2013, under NOTEBOOK

April Fool’s!!! Richard Bushman is not just not Richard Bushman, he is not a MAN. She’s a woman! Muhuhahhahaha! You can’t be mad at us, either, like when we faked the death of our website last year!

Who Is Richard Bushman REALLY? (Dramatic Reveal Part 2-4)

Posted by on March 30th, 2013, under NOTEBOOK

We know this is just a tormenting tease. But we really just can’t help ourselves. Recap from Part 1: Richard Bushman, our first guest-poster, is not actually Richard Bushman.

Posted by on March 29th, 2013, under NOTEBOOK

It’s all been a lie. Not a white lie, though, this sucker is a brightly-colored lie with stain-guard and fade-resistance. Or is it not a lie? And this is a lie about lying? Whoa… Richard Bushman is the first guest-poster we’ve had on our website. Many of you enjoyed his amazing tale, Getting an Evite [...]
