parenting – everyday fatherhood

What Will They Ask Me One Day?

Why I want the girls to copy my favorite morning routine one day.

Nobody gets their way all of the time.

A story about mulch, momentum, and getting out of your own way.

I see you joy, hiding in plain sight.

Democracy is never a finished project. But are we giving up this easily?

As the girls get older I have to accept the fact that we have competing commitments.

Lately, life has felt a lot like surfing.

A full week of showing up, and remembering why we do it in the first place.

It started with a FaceTime call about tablet time and ended with me missing everything happening at home.

Urgent things shout, important things whisper, listen to the whispers.
