Daddy Newbie

We, here at Daddy Newbie Studios, were asked by the great guys/dads at the Life of Dad to become one of  25 Official Entrants in a contest to meet The Rock  in either LA or NY– inspired by The Rocks Super Bowl spot #SuperMilkMan. [Please check out thebreakfastproject.com, and @MilkMustache (#SuperMilkMan and #TheRock).] I have to say… When asked to do …

Hello, my hard-working, fat-burning Chunksters. I know it has been a few days since the last post, but we have been working hard, trying to keep my fatness in check. I have some great news and some bad news, for this installment. The good news first, as sometimes it is ok to eat your dessert first, if it looks good …

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?” Dr. Seuss I’ve been “Dada”–from that first awesome moment when my son first spoke. Of course, when I found out I was going to be a …

I am always going behind my son and his brother–turning off this light, that tv, closing the fridge door, closing the front door, and the back door.  I seem to remind the two of them to turn something off untold numbers of times during the day.

In the dad-blogger group I belong to, a pretty great guy–by the  named of  Jim Higley–asked our group: “Who would like to talk about your balls–for a good cause?” He asked which of us would like to do a blog post in support of  Team Single Jingles Man UP Monday PARENT BLOGGING TEAM. (As I am a fan of my balls, I signed …

Just a quick heads-up… DaddyNewbie.com is a part of the #SuperMilkMan “Meet the Rock” contest. We, here at Daddy Newbie Studios, are in pre-production mode for a $150-million budget (minus the $150 million) Instagram video. It will include awesome CGI dinosaurs from Industrial Light & Magic (crayon drawings from my son), epic sound effects from Skywalker Sound (well, maybe more like: …

From the first moments we see our children (and hold them in our arms), we want to make sure that we are doing whatever we can to give them …

Starbucks sent me some of Via instant-coffee packets to review, and I have to say I’m not usually a huge fan of coffee. But, since my son was born, I find myself drinking it more frequently. It’s got to be a mainstay for most parents, particularly if you have a baby-toddler-2-year-old. The Starbucks Via coffee packets are great for those …

So, I went camping this past Monday. I made a checklist of things we would need. In the end, all I really needed was an Ark. It rained extremely hard over the 2-day period. A water-logged son-and-dad combo do not make for a great buddy bonding moments. We ended up spending a lot of time in the back end of …
