About Me

Babble.com's Top 50 Dad Blogs of 2011!I'm a 32-year-old father and husband born and bred in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I'm a smart-ass former newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase, who decided to go corporate and is now enjoying life as a content manager for a website.

This blog is not just another "daddy blog." Sure I write about my son, but these pages are a record of my life. I don't just highlight the fun milestones like first steps, I also chronicle the "other stuff." The fights, the torment and the doubt that inevitably come with being a husband and father. It's not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but it is very real. And often there is beauty in the sadness, redemption in the struggle.

Thank you for checking me out, giving me a try and sticking around for the journey. If you'd like to contact me you can email aaron_gouveia (at) yahoo (dot) com.

In the Limelight

Chris over at Dad of Divas has an ongoing series he puts out where he asks a new dad a bunch of questions in order to raise awareness of all the great dad blogs out there. For whatever godforsaken reason, this week it’s my turn.

Go check it out and feel free to tell me what a tool I am. But definitely give Chris some more traffic. He’s doing a great service for schlubs like me.

  • I just noticed the link to this and am going over to see it. Chirs told me that you suggested me for the series as well. Just wanted to say thanks for remembering a fellow dad blogger. My day will be coming sometime although thinking of myself as being in the limelight is comical.
