A is for Appreciation.  Yes my first post for the A to Z Challenge will cause some Dads to think long and hard at what they are doing.

I’m doing this as I sit here writing this blog post as well.  In not at all perfect and I do A2Z-BADGE 2016-smallerstruggle to on a daily basis trying to be the best dad and husband that I can.

I have been noticing a lot of Dads writing and talking about making life choices and getting a divorce on social media.  I don’t know all of the reason nor do I need to know all of the reasons for your choices.  Most of the talk I hear is all self center and not noticing what they have until it is too late and someone or some child gets hurt by it.

Everyone needs to take a step back from what you are doing and appreciate what you have in front of you before it is too late.  Be happy at what you got and who you married because you did at one time or you wouldn’t be married right now.  Remember how precious and important your child or children are.

Because one day it can be over in a blink of an eye.  Life is too short to waste time and not appreciate what you got in front of you.  At the end, friends come and go but family stays together through the best and the hard times in life.  Your spouse will help you more often and be there for you if you show her or him appreciation.

Appreciation is one of the key words I don’t hear people say or talk about that much.  I mostly here it if someone is getting something from another person like a gift or helping someone do a task.

As I state that above, I do appreciate you stopping by and reading my blog post.  Feel free to comment below with your thoughts as well as your opinions about this post.

It’s April and it’s that time of the year again for the A to Z Challenge.A2Z-BADGE 2016-smaller

Again I’m going to blog in the A to Z challenge for the month of April.  It is exactly what it sounds like.  Starting with the letter A (April 1st) and ending with the letter Z (April 30th).

I’m hoping this will improve my writing skills as well as hoping for new viewers and new people to interact with about being a parent.  I’m going with the theme Parenting on my blog again this year and I will also have a link on top of my blog that will allow you to only see the A to Z challenge posts.  I had a few things that came up last year and I wasn’t able to finish the challenge, but this is a new year.

If you like to know more about this challenge then click here.  I’m also trying to start-up a podcast about parenting later this year.  This will hopefully happen in the next few months.

Thank You for reading and following my blog. Please follow this blog on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lifeofabusydad) and Twitter (@LifeofaBusyDad) if you want to stay up to date with this blog.

Reading (2015 – A to Z Challenge)

One of my favorite things to do is reading.  You can learn a lot of new or good stuff while you are reading.  It allows you to work and train your brain.  Reading is a lot healthier and better than watching the television.

One of my favorite past times is reading to my kids at bedtime.  I have done this with my oldest and he now loves reading his books as well as reading right before he goes to bed.

My youngest son like this because he gets to learn new words as well as practice reading the words.  This helps his reading at school.  Since the beginning of the school year until now, he reading has improved greatly.

My two daughters love the one on one time when I read each of them a book and they can pick their own books out.  If you have read my post Opposites then you will understand why this is important to them.  They also love the stories and learning the words.

As a father, this is one of the best times of my life.  I don’t read to my oldest son anymore and I do miss that.  But I have three more kids to read to and that time is almost over.  I will miss reading to them.

When was the last time you read to your child?  When was the last time you remember being read to?  Feel free to leave your answer in the comments and I will respond to the questions you have.
