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.

    Aaron – I dont think I have to remind you of this but you were born into gold. I have known your family for a very longtime thru the church and thru my entire schooling life and you really are one of two lucky kids to have Bill and Cyn around! And also for Will and MJ for being lucky enough to have inherited them as their family too. Please pass that on. Will keep writing, youre way better a writer than your dad and grandfather are, hands down….hehehe…..

  • Aaron, your Dad is so funny!!!
