Let’s be honest. I’m not above a little shameless self-promotion every now and then. Perhaps you’re a parent, like me, reading this. And perhaps, also like me, your kids love reading and can’t put down a good book or graphic novel. And maybe, like me, you’re always on the lookout for graphic novels that provideContinue reading “A girl and her dog take to the skies…again!”

A Girl and Her Dog
What would you do if you suddenly found yourself with super powers? It’s the question a middle school girl named Lacey finds herself facing when she and her dog stumble across a pair of costumes that do just that, imbuing both kid and canine with powers beyond those of mere mortals. It’s Lacey & Lily!Continue reading “A Girl and Her Dog”
Customer Service – the Real Superheroes
If you’ve ever watched the holiday classic Miracle on 34th Street, you’re likely familiar with the buzz created when the real-life Santa Claus (mistaken for an actor playing the role) is put into the throne at Macy’s with the intention to push overstocked toys and instead starts telling parents and children alike where to findContinue reading “Customer Service – the Real Superheroes”
A super party for our super hero
We recently had a birthday party for our little guy. It was the first time we ever actually had it at our house.

None of those are inaccurate ways to spend the day. Heck, we took advantage of nice weather and worked on our garden. Just make sureContinue reading “Happy Memorial Day”
Must-read books to add to your shelf
Storytime is a wonderful and strong tradition to have in your household, and the earlier you start with your kids the better. We’ve made storytime a nightly habit in our house, starting the week our little guy came home from the hospital. Now almost two, it has become routine for him to go to theContinue reading “Must-read books to add to your shelf”

Looking to the Stars
Some people may scoff at the idea of a comic book making a profound emotional connection with someone. But, since you’re at a blog called “The Dorky Daddy,” I’m hoping you either know what you’re in for or are open to the possibility. Feeling a craving for a bit of nostalgia from my teen years,Continue reading “Looking to the Stars”
