New SAHD Book

An on-line friend of mine has published a new book on stay-at-home dads. I mentioned the book a few months ago when publishing was getting lined up. And, now the wait is over… Daddy Shift is here.

The Daddy Shift: How Stay-at-Home Dads, Breadwinning Moms, and Shared ParentingAreTransforming the American Family

Jeremy Adam Smith’s blog Daddy Dialect is always a good read and now I’m anxious to read the book. He is even getting some good press as the New Times has a two part interview with Jeremy this week.

Dallas Dads Group

My local Dallas Dads group made a local parenting magazine, The Dallas Child.

This group has served as a great resource for our family for a couple of years now. Several great relationships have developed has a result of this group for both myself and the kiddos.

Having other stay-at-home dads to talk with during the week is an invaluable resource.

President Obama nominated the first Type 1 diabetic to the Supreme Court this morning. While this may not seem significant to the non-diabetic, I take great courage in seeing someone wrestling daily with this disease being given such great responsibility – all political views aside.

As technology advances making type 1 diabetes no longer a death sentence, it is a great time to be a diabetic. With Sonia Sonomayor’s nomination, my confidence grows in the public perceptions of this disease.

Diabetes Mine blog put together a great piece on the diabetic perspective of this nomination.
