Quarantine Recommendations from the barker staff

I take on a massive amount of Italian food.

I remember sitting alone in the evening, after finding out I was going to be a father.

It’s been a week since my wife and our baby have been home.

Being an extrovert and a father of a newborn is frustrating.

I cannot believe it has already been a year. Where has the time gone? It feels like only yesterday I held you for the first time. I still am in shock at how quickly a year has flown by.

The rush of the birth is still pounding. He is healthy, and he is perfect. Evelyn and I could not be more proud or happy. Now we finally have a chance to rest. Around 4:30am we were moved to our room we would stay in.

I’ll stop there because that’s just a basic list with most essentials covered. There were some items sold every where for baby readiness that we felt were a little “extra” that we opted against listing on registries or purchasing for ourselves.

A trend has begun in the NFL. Relative unknowns whose style fits the modern league better than most one-cut running backs from years past quietly replaced big-name tailbacks that saw their productivity decline.

The feeling of having control is a comforting feeling. Knowing that we can dictate how things are done brings a sense of calmness to oneself. Well, when your significant other is pregnant, welcome to a period of the most powerless you will ever feel.

The ball is officially rolling. I have a pregnant wife, we’re going to check ups, getting ultrasounds done, and preparation is officially under way for the arrival of our bundle of joy.

Kobe! The anthem for me and every one of my grade school friends. Shooting a wadded-up paper ball into the classroom trash can was a daily ritual.

The boogeyman is back (1) and no one is happier than me. The NFL has reinstated Vontaze Burfict and if the league is serious about letting him play again, he is worth the risk to sign.

We started dating July 2013, engaged in January 2016, and married in May 2017. Life was progressing beautifully for us and we both felt parenthood was right around the corner.

Bob Ross said, “We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents”, truer words could not be said when my fiancé and I discovered we were pregnant.

Seldom can I say with near certainty that a player drafted in the first round will not pan out but this was one of those rare instances. The now-Las Vegas Raiders chose Clelin Ferrell over Josh Allen with the number four pick in the draft.

I will never forget the first time I saw this movie nor the moment I realized it was going to be a massive disappointment. Bryan Cranston’s character had just taken a hard fall after his confrontation with the male MUTO and was in critical condition aboard the aircraft carrier.

Your first-time driving, first time drinking (a legal) beer, a first fight, its all of these things that create and shape the person you become. You can prepare for so many things in life, but no matter the scenario the first of anything is always an exhilarating experience.

My name is Patrick Shayne McKinney and I’ll be the co-host of “dad hats”.I’m here as a non-expert in the field of parenting to give unofficial advice, with good hearted intentions, served on a plate of humility.
