Being a father is one of the scariest yet most rewarding parts of any man’s life. For most of us its an inevitable part of our life that we look forward to from a very young age. We progress through out childhood looking up to our father or other fathers around us and emulate them in any way we can. Some of us make the decision to become fathers, while for some it’s an unexpected suprise. Either way, it’s what happens after the birth of that first child that truly changes our lives.

Fatherhood is a unique opportunity to act like and adult and act like a kid at the same time. I remember a time shortly before I had my first child; at the time we already knew we were having a boy; I was walking through Target and while my wife was doing some shopping I went over to the toy section. In the middle of the action figure aisle she found me and asked me what I was doing. I simply replied, “I’m looking at all the great toys I get to play with over the next 10 years.” I realized that fatherhood was much more that diapers, formula and pacifiers. Fatherhood is an opportunity to enjoy life while helping to teach and help a loved one to become a great person. We get to share all those fun experiences we had as kids with our kids.

Having a child does involve serious adult activities such as managing finances, choosing schools and making sure your child grows up with moral values intact. It is however much more. Fathers are expected to be there for their kids in many other ways. Fatherhood provides the opportunity to share fun and exciting activies with your family. It is my goal that this blog / website will provide advice, stories, comments and reviews that will help fathers everywhere, including myself, have a better understanding of every aspect of being Dad.
