Dad Blogs: Five "Must-Reads" for Father's Day

Posted by Charlene Prince Birkeland

If you're in need of some Father's Day reads this weekend, to get you in that "Aww, we love Dads" mood, I'm sharing my five favorite dad blogs with you. I can't take responsibility for the fact that you'll be hooked in immediately. Get your blog reader ready for some new URLs. And it's purely coincidence that  all but one begin with the letter "C."

• Creative-Type Dad: Tony of Creative-Type Dad is one of my blog crushes. He just has a matter-of-fact way of telling stories, like his recap of a recent trip to Fiji. But check out his Father's Day post for a taste of his dad-like sense of humor. The man can find perspective in anything, and that's a must as a parent.

• Cry-it-out: Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Dad: It's a rare thing for me to get through a post by Mike Adamick without sighing emotionally, crying or laughing. This is no joke. He's a genuine storyteller who makes you feel what he wants you to feel. Don't believe me? Read this post, "Where We Live."

• Chocolate Makes It Better: What's up with all the dads making me cry with tear-jerker posts? Peter's ode to his daughters is sweeter than real cherry soda.

• Cynical Dad: Chag's posts are always a fun read and I love his Song of the Day choices (aka, the Cynical Dad Jukebox). My current favorite is about his son's newest flirting  games, called "Little Romeo." Song? "Hey Ladies" by the Beasties. Love it.

• DadCentric: Okay, I know I've already plugged DadCentric earlier this week. But seriously, it boasts a great line up of dad bloggers and worthy of your eye time.

Happy Father's Dad to all the dad readers of JobMom. And if you have some favorite dad blogs to read, please share them in the comments section!

Thanks for the kind, kind words -- even if you had to lie through your teeth. But I appreciate it! And what fun to be in such wonderful, amazing company! Thank you!

So you were the one who dropped a note in my locker...

I should have known.

Great to see other Dads blogging. I appreciate that & learn so much from hearing from other parents. Thanks for sharing these blogs. - JohnnyO http://fatherhoodmatters.blogspot.com
