No, I’m not talking about the car commercial or music that has zoom in it. Today is the last day of the A to Z Challenge and the last day of April. This month has flown by so fast as well as this challenge. It was a fun trip and I enjoyed it as well as the comments from others during the challenge.

Since the challenge is now over my posts are going to be spaced out instead of being daily. I will try to post at least two to three times a week based on how many topics I can start writing about and what is happening in the news or in my life at the time.

I’m also looking for other parent bloggers or Dad bloggers to network with and to possibility of guest posting on each other’s blog. This could be a good thing if we are both trying to increase our viewership to our blogs.

I’m also looking into creating a podcast. I have a semi podcast outline that I created one day and now I’m thinking of it harder since it can boost your website as well as visitors. I’m not too sure if anyone would listen to it though. It will also help me be a better speaker since I need to be for my job at work. Please vote on the side bar of my page if I should or should not do a podcast.

Again I want to thank everyone who put on the A to Z Challenge and I hope we could do this again. I also have a dozen other posts I started creating and haven’t finished that I could use at a later time. I will also write a post on what to expect in the near future and when each topic will be scheduled to post on my blog. If you have any suggestions on what the topics should be, please feel free to leave a message below or contact me via my contact form.

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.

I have a couple different posts for the letter J in the A to Z Challenge. So I will post this one about using my blog to journal about my kids and save the Judging post for later or even a bonus post. So here is my post for the letter J.

 

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank on display at the Anne Frank Zentrum in Berlin, Germany. from www.wikipedia.org

 

Why am I blogging about my kids on my blog? That is a simple answer to me. It is because my kids are a big part of my life right now as well as my wife. This again is why I named my blog as ‘Life of a Busy Dad”. I am using my blog kind of like a hand written journal. This is a way my kids will be able to go back to my blog and read it. I thought I might also print my blog out and turn it into a personal book for each of my kids.

Another reason I blog about my kids is that I will always have a never-ending resource of posts for it. If you have any young kids, then you will know this first hand. They are very active and full of life. Plus I like sharing things my kids do or are doing right now.

It will also give me a platform to improve my writing and communication skills as well as how to communicate my thoughts to others. This is a big deal since this is my weakness. If I get to a point where I start a podcast on my blog, then this will help me to do public speaking. Great things you need to be successful in life and in your work place.

Why did you start blogging on your site? Why did you use that name for your blog? Are you looking to use your blog to help in your daily writing or communications skills? Please leave your comments below.

Why a Baseball Field Picture You Say

I finally found a picture for my blog header. It is a baseball field since that is where I planning on spending the first part of the summer at. My oldest son T is playing baseball. He is a good batter and a decent catcher / outfielder on the team he is on. He hasn’t played any games yet but he already has a battle scar from the baseball hitting him in the check. He is a little bit bruised but is just fine.

My other boy J is going to play baseball next month. His season is only four weeks long and is indoors with a soft baseball. He likes watching his brother play.

The twins, M and L, are just being two year olds and they are a hand full. They expect me to give them all of my attention especially when T is doing his homework in the evenings.

Between all four kids my day starts out at 6 AM and ends around 11 PM if I’m lucky. I’m doing this while trying to be a good husband to Busy Mom. Sometimes it is not as easy as it sounds and other times it is too easy. Yes I do work and it is sometimes stressful at work with deadlines and due dates.

That is why having date nights with your love one is a very important step in having a sane household. Else I would be pulling my hair out instead of cutting it all off like I do now. We try to have a date nigh at least once a month. It gives us a break from reality of having four kids.

Do you have date nights or something similar? Share your stories in the comments. Or feel free to use my ideas as well.

Welcome to my new blog.

I’ll start writing posts on my blog as soon as I get them out of my head and when I have some down time from being busy.  That is why I picked the blog name.
