Here's My Story: It was Friday afternoon, I just had gotten off from my 9-5. You know that feeling. As Michael McDonald would say, "Sweet Freedom, Shine The Light On Me".
I got home and caught a glimpse of something odd out of the corner of my eye. A piece of notebook paper with words scrawled on it taped to the back door. NO SMOKING in big bold letters. I turned the knob and went inside. Read More

Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
Amazon Price: $11.20 (as of 07/27/2008)
List Price: $14.00
Take your average guide for new mothers, chuck most of the stuff about breast feeding and ditch the deep background research and stats, then generously pepper with illustrations and burley humor and what do you have? Your average guide for new fathers. Be Prepared follows that template pretty closely, and that's really quite an acceptable thing. Yes, there's a bit too much emphasis here on broadly drawn manly stuff like changing a diaper at a ballgame, but there's also heaps of useful advice that's cleverly and efficiently presented for pops who, despite their best intentions, really aren't prepared to dig into encyclopedia-sized tomes. The basics (childproofing, bathing, feeding, entertaining) intermix with nifty sidebars (homemade bath toys, foods to never give your baby, exercises for dads) in easy-to-peruse chapters organized according to the age of the offspring up to age 1. There are more thorough how-to guides for new dads, but for most men moving into fatherhood, Be Prepared will fill the bill. --Steven Stolder

Congratulations on your venture into parenthood! We have two who are grown up and I wouldn't change a thing. Best of luck with the online businesses. Being a stay-at-home mom was the best thing I ever did, and if you can become a stay-at-home dad, you will love it! Posted December 10, 2007 |

My Story
Once inside I find my wife in the kitchen standing around by the sink. We exchanged the usual pleasantries and I began to question the unusual posting I'd seen outside. "Why do you think there would be no smoking in the house?" She asked. Perhaps, guests coming over later. Nope. My mind started turning over a few scenarios as to what the answer could be. And it finally landed on a conclusion, press pause and let me explain...
I hate to sound like Dragnet, but this had been the usual Friday. Work til about 3pm. We always got free lunch on Fridays, so very laid back. Nothing out of the ordinary. Status Quo, which by the way is a very nice 60's band. Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. The 48-hour getaway. Peaceful, like the gentle waves that tap the seashore in the night. We're having a baby! BAM! That popped in my mind as the logical reason to the NO SMOKING sign. That look, as my wife eyes and mine locked upon each others in gazing amazement as the reality began to take effect. I think the old comparsion to a ton of bricks.
I have started this website to offer back something that I trust will help someone along the way. After I found out the good news. I immediately began thinking how can I take steps towards eventually working at home everyday with a few keyboard clicks here and there and creating the time to become the cool Dad I had always wanted be.
