April 11, 2017 by Kevin McKeever 2 Comments

picky eaters

Your kid doesn't like vegetables? Try serving her a medley of colorful, cut up veggies in a martini glass topped with a cookie and a little drink umbrella. Making food fun, and letting children have pride and ownership in what they create in the kitchen are among the tips and tricks members of our Twin Cities Dads Group gave a local Minnesota television station on a special cooking segment in March. Watch the whole thing and learn from Chris Brandenburg, John Francis and Keith Nagel (who brought along his two sons, Logan and Sawyer): … [Read more...]

With March comes madness -- the college basketball tournament kind -- and City Dads Group members were there to witness it again this year, thanks to our longtime partner, Dove Men+Care. The men's grooming products brand once again gave a few of our members and their children in select cities the opportunity to attend a few games during the run to the annual NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. The hook? Dove Men+Care's latest twist on its long-running "Real Strength" tag line -- the Real Strength Manifesto, a call for fans as well as those on the court to exhibit both passion for … [Read more...]

New Dad Boot Camp diapering

Our recent report on diaper changing tables now being required in men's and women's rooms in publicly accessible federal buildings caught the eye of the people over at the Upworthy website.

As of this publication, the video has received more than 430,000 views and 450 comments.

What Will Our Kids Do Without Newspapers?

May 18, 2016 by Carter Gaddis 1 Comment

Newspapers

The Tampa Tribune, a newspaper that long reflected and enhanced the lives of hundreds of thousands of Central Floridians, landed in driveways for the final time May 3, victim of a competitor buyout. That day also happened to be World Press Freedom Day. In the wake of that depressing news, I asked myself a question I never expected to ask when I became a parent in 2005: What will our children do without newspapers? For 300 years, newspapers informed and connected members of the community. Reporters and editors held civic leaders accountable. They shared stories that made home, home. … [Read more...]

Columbus Dads Group

Congratulations to our 200-member strong Columbus Dads Group for an excellent local television appearance! Our Ohio outpost was one of our first ventures when City Dads Group went national two years ago. It was a natural starting point given it's founder is Ryan Gross, who started as a member of our flagship NYC Dads Group before moving back to the Midwest. "I started by asking other dads to join. It was kind of a grassroots campaign," Gross told the interviewer for Fox28 in Columbus. "I'd see a dad at the playground, hand him a card." If you have problems viewing the video below, you … [Read more...]
