With the elimination of all of my debt (except mortgage), I'm officially switching to Strike + Bill Pay on a 1.5% flat cash back card with local credit union. One step further off the dollar.

Put the dish cabinet right next to the dishwasher on the ground level. Now even the littles can help unload dishes. The simplest of #dadhacks

Dudes with just 2 young kids often have no idea how great it is to have more. They are still searching for “me time” like they used to have. I’m having me time right now. With a cup of coffee in the sunroom holding my 5th baby watching the sunrise. Unbelievably fulfilling

Fewer reps and heavier weights was the advice I needed when I was younger. It makes all the difference in the world for a man. Makes it dopaminergic. #dadhacks I was a stick at 18 years old. Computer kid. I still would be if I hadn’t been taught this one key thing. Now I’m just normal/healthy.

With so many young kids in the house, I must demand total obedience as a daily discipline of #dadhacks. There simply isn’t wiggle room. With that I also give lots of patience, encouragement, and grace, pointing them #ToChristAlone along the way. But the posture I have to take is very much the opposite of “gentle parenting” techniques that coddle children. You simply can’t scale a family that way. And you bet when the children are orderly enough and you are loving enough, your wife will want more of them. 1 Timothy 3:4–5 (ESV) “He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church?” It’s good to demand obedience. And good to give grace. Hold the line, fathers. As the Father holds the line on us. #dadhacks

Thinking about getting a @daylightco because I read a lot in Logos - it’s why I got an iPad mini originally but that eye fatigue is real

For 14 years I’ve been paying off student loans on a CS degree I didn’t finish and my wife’s private school arts degree she never used. We both had $120k each. Yes my income grew, but I refinanced to minimize payments and stacked sats instead. This week we rotated out just enough to cover the 60k that was left and eliminate all debts (except 2.25% mortgage) I am a now a free man. Thank God for #Bitcoin

Take a day off and go to the fair. The memories last a lifetime and it’s a serious time sovereignty flex to be able to go on a weekday when there are no lines. People look at me like I’m nuts there with so many young kids. “You’re so brave” one grandma said to me. It’s confusing because these are the fun years. It’s pure magic for the littles. #dadhacks

Spotted at the #MinnesotaStateFair One lone orange koi in the tank with the river fish by the DNR building.

When they start throwing major fits, don’t stop moving until they sleep. #dadhacks Always prioritize sleep at the #minnesotastatefair

Take your kids to water #dadhacks
