About Me

I'm a 33-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.

Sealin’ the Deal at the Aquarium

The New England Aquarium is awesome. Seriously. It’s mind-blowingly entertaining for both kids and adults. Why, you ask? Let me show you:

But the absolute best thing they have are the Norther Fur Seals. The one in this video is Cordova. And she is one loud ass seal. I thought this was a human being yelling, so imagine my shock when I figured out it was Cordova making all the racket.

    This post combines 2 of my favourite things in the world – children and sea creatures. I think I’m going to have to email my cousin and ask to accompany them next time they take their little girl to the aquarium. Very cool. When I was Will’s age, I told my mum “Penguins are my favourite because they look like little dwoors”. I mean dwarves :)
