Is Mommitment Just For Moms?
What am I doing here? What would a man be doing on a blog about making a #mommitment? Why would I bother supporting such a venture that has nothing to do with me? I’m certainly not a mom. Last I checked I am not a woman. While it’s true I am a father, fathers don’t […]
What Will You Tell Your Daughter About Her Body
If you’re at all familiar with the blogging world I’m sure you know of Brittany Gibbons from Brittany Herself. Well she put out this set of writing prompts for August.

Don’t grow up
So earlier today I came across this. I encourage you to go read it, just bring a box of tissues. http://www.tickld.com/feels/t/897828 The original apparently came from Reddit, you may view it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/25gtsw/eu_in_the_final_minutes_of_his_life_calvin_has/ Are you back?

The world is bearing down on you to bring home a metric ton of metaphorical bacon and expects you to not only earn it but lift it over your head and grill it on a spit over an open fire and then eat raw in a […]
Chris Brecheen Was Right
Chris Brecheen was right. I’m not saying this in the sense that he was right and I was wrong. I’ve actually agreed with Chris for quite some time. It’s just that I’ve never experienced on any scale to truly understand why he is right. I suppose I ought to give some back story for this […]
Fatherhood or something like it…
That’s twice that it’s happened now. TWICE! It’s really starting to annoy me. The first time I could just pass it off as some idiot who didn’t know any better. The second time, I’m really starting to wonder what is wrong with society. Is it just me? Am I the weird one, that complete strangers […]
