Interview with Darren Rowse about being a SAHD

Blogger extraordinaire Darren Rowse, above and beyond his web achievements, is a father. A stay at home father at that.
In a recent interview Darren says that “work life balances” are one of the toughest things he’s faced as a stay at home dad. He makes an interesting point that a tendency to overwork is just […]

Pregnancy munchies and couvade syndrome

The word couvade is derived from the early French word couver, “to hatch.” The practical modern vernacular for this word is “getting fat with mom.” Experts attribute expectant fathers gaining weight during pregnancy to everything from a sympathetic reaction to pregnancy hormones to a psychosomatic response.

How to Keep 50 Pounds Off Without Gaining it Back

Let’s face it. We all can lose weight, but the trick is keeping that weight off. I tend to do the unhealthy thing and bounce around from season to season. I can lose up to 20 pounds in a season but then I gain some or all of it back 6 months down the road. […]

Maybe Men Are Supposed to be Depressed?
