Why have you continued?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When we were pregnant with my youngest daughter in 2007, I had an interest in starting a blog after seeing a number of friends (who were moms) having successful ones. It actually was my wife that came up with the name Dad of Divas because that is what I am. The blog started as a place for me to talk about fatherhood and my experiences as a dad and it has evolved over the years to talking about this, but also sharing my experiences with products, brands and more. I continue doing this, not only because it is a business for my family, but it is also a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on the ever-changing world of fatherhood today!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How many kids do you have? What is the age of your youngest and oldest? If more than one, did you<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1278\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1278\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/smartcoos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAM_6364.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1278\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcoos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAM_6364-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Christopher with his Divas\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1278\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christopher with his Divas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>plan to have that age gap?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I have two daughters ages 11 and 7.5. We did decide to spread them out a bit, but now that they are a bit older, I have wondered if they would have been closer as sisters if the age difference was not as great.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What is your fondest memory as a father? Your not so fondest memory? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There have been so many. I think a lot of my most favorite have to be ones where I was just spending time with the kids. Setting down technology, and simply getting on their level and letting them take control of the reigns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How does fatherhood influence your blog? Your business decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1276\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1276\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/smartcoos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/football1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1276\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcoos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/football1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Christopher enjoying some Football with one of his Divas\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christopher enjoying some Football with one of his Divas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I try to balance my work and my personal life as much as I can, though it is not always easy. Everything that I do goes through the fatherhood filter. So whatever I am writing is influenced by this. Also, all of the decisions that I make for my business also has everything to do with them too. I am always thinking &#8211; how will this affect my family!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>If you could tell a new father ONE thing and only one thing what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Get down on the floor and see the world through your kid&#8217;s eyes. Also, breathe, and don&#8217;t take things so seriously and personally. No dad is perfect!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What does the future look like for you, your family and your business?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I am excited about the new podcast, <a href=\"http:\/\/DadSpotlight.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DadSpotlight.com<\/a> that I am doing now and get so energized when I hear people listening to this, commenting on it and reacting and reflecting on the content that I am sharing.
