Ask DaddyGeek

Hi. My name is Dustin, and I am a DaddyGeek.  I’m also Rhonda Gail’s husband, which is probably the only reason she’s letting me do this.

Rhonda and I have talked about having me write a guest post for her blog, but we’ve had trouble deciding on a subject.  She insists that people find . . . → Read More: Ask DaddyGeek

Hump Day Dump Day

It drives me absolutely crazy when a retailer identifies something in a houndstooth pattern as “herringbone.” Um, no… huge difference. If you’re going to sell the stuff, KNOW what you’re talking about!

I had to remove an uncle of mine from my Facebook friends yesterday. I am very tolerant of others’ beliefs and . . . → Read More: Hump Day Dump Day

Easy and fun discipline?! Yes, really.

Now, no discipline method works for every kid and my kids are so well-behaved that I rarely have to do anything other than correct them.  However, my 4-year-old is not perfect and is prone to whining in an attempt to get his way.  When I saw a blog post about paper behavior charts (well, . . . → Read More: Easy and fun discipline?!

Tuesday Ten [7.6.2010]

Let’s Cook Dinner! (Or, Nothing Ever Goes As Planned)

Even though I plan our meals out and grocery shop for two weeks at a time, I have to be flexible, because sometimes things just don’t work out.  Sometimes I don’t buy enough chicken.  Sometimes I forget that we have dinner plans with friends.  Sometimes I get sick and just don’t feel like cooking.  . . . → Read More: Let’s Cook Dinner! (Or, Nothing Ever Goes As Planned)

Tuesday Ten

1. Harper said “bye” yesterday, complete with wave!  The absolute best part of parenting is watching them learn and grow.

2. In high school and in my early college years, I refashioned clothes I no longer wanted and had my mom sew original designs.  I loved being creative with clothes.  Now, mostly out of . . . → Read More: Tuesday Ten

Mother’s Day Thanks

Yesterday, Erin at Blue-Eyed Bride did a post to thank her mother and her son on Mother’s Day.  I decided to shamelessly steal the idea, but my kids had other ideas.  So today, I’ll limit it to thanking my mama.

Dear Mama,
