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.

Tooting My Own Horn

This post also appeared on www.capecodonline.com/blogs in the opinion section of the Cape Cod Times, a division of Ottaway Newspapers, Inc.

Yours truly was featured on New England Cable News (NECN) this morning concerning a story I wrote about a 2,500 year old arrowhead found on Menauhant Beach in East Falmouth. Not only is the story on the Cape Cod Times website here, but it was the #1 story on the Boston Globe’s website a couple hours ago.

    You know what? I never notice what a crooked mouth you have. Thank goodness Will had a superior set of genes available to him so he could avoid things like that. I’d rather have the vacation curse…

    Your children will be born with thick, red chest hair so I’d watch this stuff about crooked smiles. And the upside for you is whoever you marry will have superior genes. So you’ve got that to look forward to. Which is nice.
