About Me

I’m a 30-year-old father and husband living on a peninsula 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 newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase and a sense of humor as dry as the Sahara.This blog is mainly about my life as a new dad, but I’m also prone to talk about marriage, sports, politics and pop culture. I’m a Boston sports fanatic and my hatred for all New York teams knows no bounds. I’m honest to a fault, prone to cross a few lines but simultaneously heartfelt and sincere. But whether I’m describing the time I manually pumped my wife’s breast while she was nursing or writing about how much my son enriches my life, the only promise I can make is I’ll update often and I can’t help but be passionate. Thanks for stopping by!

Kids Pay Dividends

I had just finished showering on Monday when a small cyclone of blonde hair and cuteness whisked into the bathroom and started knocking on the glass shower door. “Hi Dadda,” said my rambunctious son. “Hi buddy,” I replied as I searched for a clean towel. Unfortunately, I forgot to grab one before I got into [...] [...]

The Repeater

My wife loves the Food Network. Whether it’s Diners, Drive-ins & Dives or that show with the old Double Dare host from Nickelodeon in the 80s, she just can’t get enough of it. Me? I like one show. Everyday Italian, hosted by the one, the only, the BEAUTIFUL Giada De Laurentiis. As you can gather [...] [...]

The Bad Parent Club

Hi. My name is Aaron. And I’m a bad parent. Not bad in the sense that anyone needs to call Child & Family Services on me, it’s more bad in the form of not being a politically correct parent. And, in some cases, just being lazy. It means I sometimes take shortcuts when it comes [...] [...]
