I don't know about you, but I find it really hard sometimes to not drop the ball with my family. A demanding job and other commitments sometimes find me missing an important family thing (or at least coming late). So I decided to check into some of the online family calendar systems and see how they might help my family. What I found was some absolutely incredible products that can help families get and stay organized. Check out these resources and find one that works for your family. Or comment on this entry and let us know what tools you use to keep it all together.

Country singing sensation Dierks Bentley welcomed his first child, Evalyn Day, a week ago. It is always fun for me to read articles about celebrities who become fathers. Sometimes they react strangely (at least to me), but I could really relate to Dierk's feelings as I remember how I felt when I left the hospital the night after my son was born and reality hit. Read his comments in People Magazine and see if you can identify with his feeling of finding a whole new dimension to the universe when his daughter was born.

One of my friends, a divorced dad with a twenty-something daughter, just learned that she is engaged. There are not many more challenging moments for a divorced dad than when his daughter gets married. Find out how to prepare for and handle the events of your daughter's wedding and still help her have a great experience.

I just got through reading what I think is a must-read book for anyone who works with teenagers. An Intimate Understanding of America's Teenagers by high school teacher and teen expert Bruce J. Gevirtzman is an excellent book to help any father better understand how his teenagers think and act. It is full of humorous and poignant stories and experiences with teenagers from Bruce's long career, and helps us all learn what America's teenagers are feeling and seeing in today's troubled world. Read my review and then go find An Intimate Understanding of America's Teenagers for your own library.
