DIY a Stay at Home Dad Can Do: Kill weeds without chemicals

Last year I put three name brand weed killers against each other.  I was tired of forgetting which weed killer did a good job and ending up with half bottles of multiple different kinds.  For the record, Spectracide did the best job on the weeds for us.  However, someone commented that as a dad I should use more natural methods to control weeds.

Tips on adopting a dog into a family with children

The other day I was talking to a parent and they told me that they wanted a dog; but thought against it because they have a child.  Before being a parent I did social media and PR for an animal shelter.    I’m a firm believer that a dog has more benefits to a family environment than downfalls.   Continue reading Tips on adopting a dog into a family with children

Changing a door knob to a bathroom should be a key element when you’re thinking about baby-proofing the house.  You know to latch the low cabinets that children can get into, but you’ve got years before the baby will be walking around the house and wait, is he opening the door while your mother is on the toilet?!?

Milton area Boy Scouts conduct paint recycling on Feb 11

If you have a house you have cans of paint.  If you have a garage you have more cans of paint.  Recently I straightened up the garage, put up some wall hangers for the bigger tools and got as much stuff off of the floor as possible.  During this process I found-and properly disposed of 15 cans of paint. Continue reading Milton area Boy Scouts conduct paint recycling on Feb 11
