I just found out that I was included on Tom Beardshaw’s Top 25 Parents/Dads that Twitter list. Myself and many of the other Dads that I follow on Twitter and read their blogs.
Stop over to Tom’s blog to see who is on the list and add your Twitter profile if you weren’t included on the first take…

Over at Happy Healthy Hip Parenting blog, authored by Sondra Santos LaBrie, has started up a new series on What Makes a Happy Healthy Hip Parent. She is doing this to highlight parents that she has met mainly on the net, via blogs or Twitter. Also, I filled out the questionaire as a daddy blogger so soon I’ll be featured. I’ll post a link when that happens.
Why is Sondra doing this:
I look forward to sharing their stories and giving props to parents who raise happy, healthy, hip kids - one of the most rewarding jobs you could ever have.
Here are a few links and blurbs from her first two HHH Parents:
Meet Tracy and find out What Makes Her a HHH Parent
Facebook has brought me face-to-face with several high school classmates since joining, including Tracy, mother of two. Her son will be turn four in less than a month and her daughter just recently reached her six-month milestone.
Meet Laurel to see why she is a HHH Parent
You may know Laurel from the books she’s authored: Up and Down the Scratchy Mountains, Inside the Slidy Diner, The Myth of the Single Machines, Half Life, and Daphne and Jim.
Happy Healthy Hip Parenting was founded by Sondra Santos LaBrie.
Ms. LaBrie is a Certified Parent Educator through the International Network for Children and Families with a background in psychology and communication.

My Blogging Recipe
I started this post as part of another post and then my fingers started to type faster than I could think and all of a sudden I was caught writing again. Hey their folks, sorry for the absence from my blog. I’ve just been busy lately.
Anyway, not sure what this post is about, i think it’s just me typing words in a ‘recipe’ format as my mind thinks things up. Let me know what you think!

Foundation for Chaos
Toppings of Love
Begin with the foundation. Mix all ingredients to create chaos. Stir chaos in head for a day. Check consistancy, if still insane keep stirring. Look at stains and clean. When become numb to chaos begin adding toppings.
Add the toppings slowly as you don’t want to ruin anything. Begin with looking at the artwork that your kids made at daycare that day. Smile. Say, “WOW! that is great!” (and mean it!) Then go kiss kids and hug them, do the same with wife. Pinch her butt too for fun! (Smile again!) When you have a thick layer ‘o love spreading over the chaos make sure to keep things sane by relaxing every now and then with 30 minutes of yoga or mediation. Maybe even a blog post or two!
