A Father's Day Proposal: the UnFacedBook

So this is a Father's Day present.

After 10 hours in the car I felt like we had a revelation, some good plans, some great vision. Then I lay in bed with squirmy girls who refuse to sleep and thought of this. A blog, for us, a hobby--together. Just like you always want. 

Let's tell some stories on one another. Sort of the anti-"trade last". Let's capture the stories that make us laugh everyday but that we would never tell anyone because we look like loser parent screw ups even though those are also the dead funny moments that keep us going. Let's capture the part of our lives that fills us with good. Then maybe if we are looking for the good we won't focus on the part of parenting that fills our brain with frustration.

So let's write our lives.
The proposed rules:  the stories have to be based in truth. With the two of us and the three of them there is plenty to work with; but it can be a "Secret life of Walter Mitty" thing where the real and the "that is what it felt like to me!" can become blurry. 

Let's tell stories. Let's find our voice. 

Also, as one tells a story, the other can write a rebuttal, the "hey, I didn't do that!", the other perspective. Within the honest dialogue we may deposit the imprint of our overflowing life.
