hi, my name is leecarter77, and i’m an instagram addict.

I’m that tumblr that rarely reblogs, but this made my day. I LOVED the old Batman series!

dad reads

It seems like the blogosphere is ripe with mommy blogs, but I haven’t seen a ton on fatherhood.  As an expectant father, I thought it might be cool to share the few things I have found worth reading.

Here are 3 articles by the blog Art of Manliness that I’ve loved, not just for the article content but for the comments section, too.

I regularly read the Zen Habits blog by Leo Barbauta. I don’t agree with everything he writes, but I like his writing style, out-of-the-box thinking, and his approach to being a minimalist (which continually inspires this pack rat).  I’m not sure that homeschooling or unschooling is the answer, but I do believe these are some great skills to teach a kid:

Also, the links in that article were worth the read, too.  I enjoyed reading about the difference between French parenting and the way we do things, and why it is important for kids to learn to be happy on their own.  I agree.

I’ve thumbed through the “baby bible” “What To Expect When Expecting,” and really the only thing that interested me much was the week-by-week development.  I read the dad section, but it didn’t tell me anything new.  I’m stumbling through “What To Expect The First Year” now.  One book that I loved is “Be Prepared” by Gary Greenberg and Jeannie Hayden.  It was both laugh-out-loud funny & insightful.  I’d say it’s a must-read for any dad.

I keep up with How To Be A Dad’s facebook feed, more for laughs than advice.  If anything, that might be the best advice I’ve read about being a parent: keeping your sense of humor :)

Here’s our story from 2nite (before the breaking news). Really hope this girl finds her dog.

Our  live truck didn’t work, so @SharonPhillips1 & I had to rush back to the station with a  recorded look-live. We also had a meth lab prop (not a real one) that we  were going to use for our live shot. This is what we imagined the dash  cam video would look like if police pulled us over. Haha!

Here’s a story we put together on a funky smell in Tulsa last week. My reporter & I both thought it must have been a slow news day. Nevertheless, this is what they assigned us, so we had fun with it.
