Dad Cooks Bacon

Dad of two great kids looking to chill out a bit and improve at the game of fatherhood.

"Space & Grace" will be important as we move into a New Normal.

Space to decompress and grace for the times when even that space isn't quite enough.

“Daddy, can you take the crust off my toast?”

**Reluctantly peel off crust before toasting**

“Here you go. Toast with no crust.”

…

**Looks at plate**

The simple thins are often the most fun.

Invest in bubbles!

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

As parents, either we talk to our kids about:
- sex
- alcohol
- drugs
- video games
- gambling
- smoking
- etc
...or we let someone else do it and hope they have their best interest in mind.

I think I'm finally over the dread/anxiety and onto a plan that will include a mix of getting outside (no matter the weather), art projects (drawing, painting, etc), and special themed days (Disney adventure, Sports day, etc).

How about you?

[Amy Joyce @amyjoyce_words]

Okay parent-types. What’s the winter plan? How will you get through the dark, cold days with kids during a pandemic? Oh, I’m listening.

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

TIP:
Ask your kids to say "eeee" when you are brushing the fronts of their teeth.

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

Capture the moments in life when they are there. Never now what the window of opportunity will be.

This is our snowman a few hours later.

Need a break from the rhetoric? Need a reminder about good things in life?

It's a "Boo to You" kinda AM. This music brings back great Disney family memories.

Gaming can be a lot of fun for our kids. Gaming can also lead to significant issues for them.

Important to follow and understand #esports and other gaming.

Definitely adding more Nerf battles into our lives. Hard not to smile running around in the dark blasting each other with the Star Wars duel music pumping.

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

Shoutout to the teachers absolutely rocking this digital learning. I've been thoroughly impressed...and think it might even be better for learning?!?

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

I’ve been impressed with openness and authenticity @McIlroyRory has been bringing to his interviews. Will be cool to follow his journey of fatherhood.

Who else is struggling with not having a clue what our kids school days will ACTUALLY look like?

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

Kids are undefeated at reminding me just how little I actually know about the world.

Today's example:
"Daddy. What does a liver do?"

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

The things I tell me kids are often the same things I most need to hear myself. #dadthoughts

[Dad Cooks Bacon @dadcooksbacon]

If you’re still resisting @tiktok_us, consider this.

Yesterday I learned (in less than a minute) how to make Chick-fil-a style nuggets. They weren’t perfect, but the kids ate them with zero complaints.

Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons (foreheads). We will get through this together.
