The Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Halifax

Can my toddler survive a Harlem Globetrotters show?

I'm a huge hoops fan and when I heard that the world famous Harlem Globetrotters were making their return to Halifax, I realized that it may be time to take my almost 3-year old son to his first live basketball experience.  I attended a Harlem Globetrotters show for the first time about six years ago with my dad and nephew, and interestingly enough my father watched the Harlem Globetrotters back in the Philippines when he was about 10 (about 60+ years ago) and now it's time that I share that experience with my son.

NBA Legend and Hall of Famer, Dikembe Mutumbo was on a Twitter chat on Friday for #NBAFanDay.  As the Global Ambassador for NBA Cares, Mutombo & @NBACares had a chat open to fans so I decided to join the conversation to ask him for some dad advice.

The Daddy Hair Design Centre

Taking in clients.

When I decided to give my son his first haircut, it didn't end up so well. Ever since then, I've been extra cautious with any haircuts that I give my 2-year old son (scissors are no longer involved.) And now that we have a daughter in the mix, the haircuts are no longer an option for me but styling her hair? I'm all in.

Another dad cooler than me.

If you're not familiar with who DeMar DeRozan is, he's been part of the Toronto Raptors since his rookie season back in 2009. Raptors fans like myself have watched him grow from a young kid from Compton to a two-time NBA All-Star leading the Toronto Raptors to one of its best seasons to date. He recently passed Vince Carter on the Raptors all-time scoring list and sits in second place to Chris Bosh.

Birches Park Playground - Portland Estates, Dartmouth

With spring weather hopefully on its way to Halifax, I've been looking for that perfect playground in the city for my toddlers (11 month old and almost 3-year-old). We had a nice sunny day last week, so we checked out Birches Park in Portland Estates in Dartmouth.
