I need a logo for almightydad.com. It seems to be the thing to do among the big-time bloggers and, although I’m far from big-time, I’m jumping into the fray. It has to be something that is simple and recognizable yet witty enough to stand apart. Superman probably has the world’s most awesome logo. Batman is [...]
Halloween is around the corner and we still have not gotten the costumes for the boys. The seasonal stores are starting to pop up all over the place and the department stores (Target and Wal-Mart) opened their Halloween sections a month ago. The boys have not decided what they want to be and we [...]
There are risk takers and there are those who play it safe. It’s my belief that we are, to some degree, pre-programmed to be one or the other. Within these two broad categories there are two more varieties of people. It may come as a surprise that being a risk taker does not necessarily [...]
Okay, technically speaking, chivalry has been dead for a long long time. We, in our modern times, do not ride around on horses with lances and swords, and we do not have fiefdoms and serfs, and most of us do not seek the church’s blessings before embarking on our careers. Chivalry is quite assuredly [...]
I wish I had my Kids’ imaginations. I could have written 20 books so far if I had that sort of creativity. Unfortunately, I don’t. I know what it is. As we get older and learn more we become confined by our knowledge. We don’t think outside the box because we know better. That’s [...]
The Cookie Truck By Keith Wilcox Bobby and Alan stood in Bobby’s front yard. There was a gas station across the street. The two boys stood watching as a delivery truck pulled up to one of the pumps. As a man stepped out of the truck Bobby said to Alan, “You know that [...]
It’s a tall order. My oldest boy, Neil, is not much of a whiner, but his brother has just about mastered the art of verbal manipulation. He’s done it ever since I can remember, but I only determined to stop it recently. I should have taken care of it much sooner. My unprofessional opinion is [...]
Do I dare wade into this territory? I’m a man after all; I’ve never had to lose baby weight. Well, I’m going to do it whether anybody likes it or not. My wife had baby weight and I saw what she did to get rid of it. I think that makes me qualified enough, [...]
For the past year and a half I have been using Hooked on Math to teach my boys basic math skills. It’s a fairly good program in terms of providing plenty of example problems in addition and subtraction and explaining how 1′s 10′s and 100′s work. But, it’s somewhat deficient in other areas. While it [...]
I was doing my typical routine this morning where I spend a few minutes poking around the Internet looking at blogs and other parenting related websites. I found a height calculator. They asked me to enter my height, and my wife’s height, which I did. It went “bleep bloop” and told me my kids [...]
Sometimes we are forced to buy our kids toys that have small pieces or that otherwise mess up the house. We walk around periodically stepping on Lego parts or action figure arms and heads. Matchbox cars are ubiquitous in this house. I’ve found them on the basement steps, in the laundry machine, in the [...]
