A Little Goes A Long Way

Hey kids, It’s Dad and for todays TommyLog I want to talk about tooth paste usage. Both Emma and drew are having trouble modulating the mount of toothpaste that they use on a per use basis. A little bit of toothpaste goes a long way.

This led me to think that a little bit goes a long way. A little smile goes a long way, a hello or hi–that goes a long way. So take time to share a little—along the way.

TommyLog – What Makes You Happy?

What makes you happy? What makes you happiest? Are you the type of person that does stuff that makes you sad or what makes you mad. Or do you only do things to make you happy?

Drew loves angry birds– that makes him happy. Emma loves to draw and to do art stuff, which makes her happy. Tommy loves Minecraft and love solving those puzzles and loves learning its tools. Clara loves to dance. Madeline loves to cook. I love solving problems and love doing things for others.

There are so many people who complain in life. So many people were just not happy. Why do you waste your time and do things that don’t make you happy. If you’re not happy in this situation that you’re in, change.

Stop complaining and do something about it.

TommyLog – A Daughters Love

Last week, as you recall, I went to MythBusters: Behind the Myth with my daughter Madeline as her gift to me for Christmas. What an amazing day we both had, just playing and hanging out. It really got me thinking, which of course got me emotional. How many 19 year old girls in this day and age really want to spend time with their dear old dads?

Well it’s an honor to say I’m in that club and what a GREAT feeling it is to know we can chat, laugh and play together even if as she grows up to be a fine young woman.

My life is so blessed!

TommyLog Dad, Ready To Answer The Call

Over the weekend I had one of those “Dad Moments” you see in the movies, but never happens to you. Well it was late on Saturday evening and i received a text from my daughter Madeline.

“Dad are you there?”

“YES I replied”

“I need you to come and get me”

And without hesitation the answer was a resounding yes and I flew out of the house to come whisk her away from her troubles. The wheres and why are not important to this story. The fact that she called me is what’s a big deal here. She knew she could count on me and I didn’t disappoint. As a father you always want to be there for your kids regardless of time or date.. and this was one of those amazing moments I’m sure glad i was there for her!
