I was speaking in Cleveland last night and went a little early to visit A Christmas Story House…featured in the holiday classic “A Christmas Story.” To get a flavor for my visit, watch the videos from top to bottom. Now, this movie comes from my pre-family days and there are some words that are not family friendly. I’d preview and have your mute button handy.
Merry Christmas from The Familyman!!!
This animated short was created and animated by my son, Sam (16). Hope you enjoy it and may you have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
Dad, let’s make a list of the best and worst jobs for dads. I’m not talking about how much you make, but is it a family friendly job.
Does it give you plenty of time with your family? Is it flexible? Does it have good vacation perks (like teaching school)? OR does it demand time on the road, a large amount of weekly hours, weekends and evenings?
As a busy mom, when my daughter asks to have a tea party, the first thoughts that come to my mind are that sounds like work and I don't have time! And because I'm not a creative person, the idea of pulling off a tea party sounds overwhelming too. The solution? Let my daughter do all the planning and work, without spending much money!
Hey, I’ve got a question. We went to dinner the other night at a Wilson favorite spot. As is often the case at this spot my little kids brough a quarter to spend in the gumball machines near the door (it’s a classy joint). Everything in my cheapskate body screams against wasteing money on those things. My dad never let us do it…and it was good enough for me. MY wife’s dad, on the other hand, almost always let her do it. What should I do?
Here’s what the folks on Facebook said:
If you are traveling through Addis Ababa for business or pleasure, you would be hard pressed to find a more comfortable and yet economical place to stay than the Addis New Friends Guest House. It’s perfect for mission teams, adoptive families, or small tourist groups. And yet while you unwind, you help others. How can this be?
