Fatherhood FridayFatherhood Friday is both a day and a growing community of dads and moms sharing stories, ideas, photos and movies with one topic in mind - fatherhood. In a world that seems happy to deliver a message that dads are incapable buffoons, Dad Blogs is committed to changing that perception. The reality is, as we see it, parents today are more aware of parenting and the impact it has on their children and dads everywhere are becoming more active caregivers.

Fatherhood Friday 52: One Year Celebration

Fatherhood Friday 52 I am in a festive mood. Earlier today, I appeared on the Tyra Banks Show with my wife, and I gotta say--she looked hawt! My wife that is. It's funny, she thought she looked cross-eyed and I thought I looked like a big red tomato (they gave me a bright red sweater pullover to wear). We are very self-critical that way. I was actually more nervous to watch myself on TV than I was actually being interviewed--weird right? Anyways, with what I am calling the Tyra Factor my book jumped up the ranks sharply on Amazon (I probably sold like 5 copies or something). Whatever the reason--I finally got ranked. My book got ranked at Amazon! Score!

A good blogger friend of mine reviewed my book and her review is off the charts in awesomeness, and we got our taxes done (yeah, they owe us--big time). All that being said and here we are arriving at the one year anniversary of Fatherhood Friday. A year, in my opinion, means that a tradition has become solidified in the blogging world and is now more of an institution than a passing fad. It's big. A blogging year is like 10 regular years. A lot happens in blogging time.

So, to celebrate the fifty-second week of Fatherhood Friday, we are giving away $25 to two lucky winners. All you have to do is post a your link in the form below. However, you can only post one link (did you read that Que?). One link only. If you post more than one link, we will delete all but one and by 2 PM Saturday, linking will be closed. So, get your Fatherhood Friday entries in and hang tight to see if you are a winner.

We will randomly pick two winners using a random number generator and we will share who those winners are on Monday the 22nd. So, get your links up and be good stewards of Fatherhood Friday--onto the links!

Here's what you do when you are a part of Fatherhood Friday, if you don't know already. Our easy to follow guidelines:

  1. Do post a Dad Blogs badge on your blog and watch your popularity grow exponentially
  2. Do link to awesome posts on your blog (link directly to the post, not the homepage)
  3. Do link back to Dad Blogs and Fatherhood Friday
  4. Do not link to something unrelated like plate tectonics
  5. Do visit as many other contributors as possible
  6. Do tweet about your post and add the hashtag "#FatherhoodFriday" to the end of the tweet
    * Are you a Twitter Dad? Add your Twitter ID and link to the list.
  7. Do subscribe to the new Dad Blogs feed

Remember, dads AND moms can participate just post your links below.

My son may be young (not even 2) but boy oh boy does he have my back if someone messes with me. In this case, it was my mother.

@Joe - You guys were great on Tyra, I just got a chance to watch the episode. DVRs rock. Seriously, though, what was up with the first guy with the bright pink socks? Did Tyra's show dress everyone? Someone should get fired for that.

Congrats on the one year anniversary. You're right: blog years are like dog years. Seriously.

Anxiously awaiting the Tyra Banks Show video to be posted here on Dad Blogs so all of us can share in the excitement. That is TOO cool, man.

I'll be posting later today as a contribution to Fatherhood Friday 52. Stay tuned.

Congratulations once again!
