One of the things I noticed about being a parent is, I never realized how much free time I had before kids. Then I soon realized that the chaos that comes with being in a family is your new normal. For me, my 20’s and 30’s could not have been more different. I can only speak for myself but doesn’t … [Read more...]
kids really do say the darndest things
First off I’d like to say that I am very happy to be part of the Canaccord Genuity Great Camp Adventure on Saturday, September 28th in support of SickKids. This is a terrific event, and a wonderful idea. My family and I, along with Q107’s evening host Dominik Diamond and his family, will join many … [Read more...]
Survey Says!
As a father I read something earlier this week that made me feel very proud. A recent survey found that men are more actively involved in their children's lives than ever before. Reading something like that makes you feel reassured, in that a lot of us dads are doing the right thing. I will say … [Read more...]
put me in coach
I am very fortunate to have a job that I find incredibly fun and rewarding. I am on the radio program 'Derringer in the Morning with Maureen Holloway' on Q107. In my 12 years on the show by far the top 3 questions I get asked are, how awesome are John and Mo to work with? (answer - awesome, they … [Read more...]
Wipe Out
One thing that amazes me about my wife is how many wipes she uses to clean up our 2 year old. I swear she can do the job in one, maybe two wipes. I tend to do the job in eight to ten. I don't know how she does it. She uses every square inch of that thing, and I go through them like they're … [Read more...]
It’s The Little Things That Matter
About a month ago while at the radio station my dear friend and co-worker John Garbutt asked me the following question "How was your weekend"? Not that unusual right? I answer with the classic... "good thanks....blah blah blah, and you"? He then asked me "what was your favourite part"? … [Read more...]
Pain’t that a shame
My wife and I moved to our house in Acton last summer, so as you can imagine, we have spent the last 10 months chipping away at making a 9 year old home new to us. Personally, I wanted to keep it simple, such as, making a coffee table out of beer empties. You know from the 'Frat House Collection' … [Read more...]
Parents, Kids and the Bond of Hockey
First off I'd like to say thank you for all the lovely comments I heard from everyone about my Mother's Day blog. Thank you so much. Sports are a funny thing in my house. Unfortunately for me, there isn't a lot of it being watched on TV. My wife really isn't into watching sports, and my 2 year … [Read more...]
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother's Day in advance of Sunday. I obviously have no clue what is like to be a mother (unless you count on the dance floor, then I'm one bad mother). But as a father, I get to see firsthand how important a mother is in raising children. Speaking of being a father, it's amazing to see the … [Read more...]
Return of the Jedi
One of the best things about being a parent is passing stuff on to your children like lessons, advice, knowledge, life skills and most importantly your old toys. On Saturday I had the pleasure of handing over one of my most prized possessions to my 2 young boys - my old Star Wars figurines. … [Read more...]
