Parenting is all consuming. Having babies puts your whole life in perspective. And I’m lucky enough to have a wife and partner that I share this journey with. We can take turns. Trade off. Juggle having two kids together. But. It. Is. All. Encompassing. I have a full time job on top of the...

Sometimes the only way is to endure. Make it through the night and try for better tomorrow. It sucks in the moment. It’s so hard. It seems impossible. But you can and will get through. No matter how hard it gets each day is a gift. If we can keep that in our minds...

Sometimes I don’t have a succinct idea that I want to write about. And tonight I just landed in Seattle after a six hour flight and a 80 minute cab ride to JFK. I’m tired. And in situations like this I ask myself what is the most important thing you want to say right...

Every day. For a year. I can’t believe I’m already halfway through June in this project. It seemed so daunting at first. But now it’s part of my daily routine. Write. Publish. Share. I’m so lucky you’ve joined me on this path. Read along as I traverse this new territory. Sometimes getting it right....

Not wait until the end of the night to post. I’ve just spent 90′ trying to get my son to go to sleep. I’m annoyed. And tired. The point of this blog isn’t to just post a bunch of rants about parenting and sleep deprivation. I have more to say than that. But like...
