Summer Road Trip & Travel Essentials: Kids & Family TV Shows on iTunes
I’m not quite sure how any of us made it through any roadtrips alive when we were children. Many of us, like me, didn’t have air conditioning or built-in DVD players. And we sure didn’t have little personal electronic devices that could play movies and TV shows. My kids, on the other hand, each have […]

Keep Track of your Kids through Social Media & a Cell Phone, But BE CAREFUL!
I have always been a big proponent against the use of Social Media by children, especially when they are in elementary school.

“Car Seats & Common Sense” Discussed by Some Punchy Dads on Cast of Dads Podcast #14
The Cast of Dads were in rare form for this podcast titled “Car Seats & Common Sense“. Maybe it was something in the air or something we drank but geez! But we were still able to offer our “sagely” parenting advise throughout the podcast. I guess that once and a while, we can let what […]
