Parenting full-time has been both an incredible challenge and a rewarding experience. It’s taught me more about patience, showing up, and embracing the little moments than I ever imagined. Being a stay-at-home dad isn’t just about taking care of my kids. It’s about becoming the kind of person I want them to look up to.

Becoming a stay-at-home dad (SAHD) was a huge shift in my life, but it’s also the best decision I’ve made for my relationship with my kids. There’s a closeness that grows from being there for the everyday moments, the ones that aren’t celebrated on Instagram or talked about in parenting books.
