Review, Tour and Giveaway: Project Dad: The Complete Do-It-Yourself Guide For Becoming A Great Father by Todd Cartmell

Project Dad is a great read... especially for the new-dad in your life!  When asked to think about what I thought made a great dad, I didn't have to think for very long.  We all get to see a lot of Dad's in this world, and I've noticed a few that stand out.  For me, these Dads are hands-on... they DON'T know it all, but are willing to learn... they take the time to listen... they are patient, especially when teaching their kids something new... they aren't afraid to get dirty...  and they are there for their kids (and for their kids friends as well!).  In short, a GREAT Dad is one who is there, one who will lead by example as well as jumping in with both feet, both hands, and every ounce of energy and love they can spare. :)  Here's to all the great Dad's out there, as well as those aspiring to be great Dads.
