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.

Look Ma, I’m on TV

What’s that? You want to hear all about the decommissioning of a NOAA ship that’s been in service for the last 45 years? And you want a fat kid who needs a haircut to tell you all about it? Hmmm, that’s kind of an odd request but here at the Daddy Files we aim to please. So enjoy…

    Good webcam presence. If finances get really tough I know some websites that pay a LOT for people willing to set up a cam. I’m just saying, keep your options open.

    “If finances get really tough I know some websites that pay a LOT for people willing to set up a cam.”

    To be brutally honest, Aaron, I’m not sure how many people would pay a LOT to see you in a lacy teddy on a naughty webcam.

    But good job on the on-air reporting!

    Fat kid? Nah. We’re called “husky”.
