Leaving The Best Of Me Behind

Behind every successful (definition pending) dad blogger is an amazing woman. Or an amazing man. Or no one at all. I pretty much have no idea where I was going with that, but I do know where I am going this week (how ’bout that professionally awkward segue?) I am […]

The Whole Mr. Mom And Modern Dad Thing

Introducing Jess Penner: Pop Music For Tween & Teen Girls

This is a bit like the Best New Artist Grammy going to an established act with a back catalog — damn that is annoying. Still, I would like to introduce you all to the lovely & talented Jess Penner. Penner is currently in the studio laying down tracks for her […]

OWTK Philly Local: Me and Philly Kids Thing

You know, I almost started to wonder about where I actually live. I’ve been so fortunate to have written for a number of publications and websites with deep roots in New York City, that I often find myself wishing my roots were there as well. Finally though, a Philly-based site […]
