ABOUT ME

This, Justyn!


Hi!

My name is Justyn! I am a dad who is currently working from home and caring for my son, Wesley. I have been happily married for 6 years and counting to my lovely wife, Krista. 

I work with students in grades 6–12 at Movement Church in Woodstock, Ontario. It's an amazing community and an amazing place to work!

Wesley was born on February 27th, 2019. Life has never been the same, and while there are tough days, there are so many amazing days! We wouldn't want it any other way.

Other than being a dad and husband, I love football, coffee, BBQing, playing guitar, fitness, and writing. I started this blog simply out of a desire for a creative outlet, and hopefully, to help other people and parents who are on their own journey, just like me.

I LOVE dad jokes... That's why I'm JUSTYN TYME!

If you're wondering, yes my name is legitimately and legally spelled "Justyn." It has been since I was born!

3 Ways To Be A Good Stay-At-Home Dad

I have become a (working from home) stay-at-home dad.  I vividly remember telling my wife how thankful I am for her, for her patience, and for her ever caring demeanour when our son, Wesley, was born in February 2019. I laughed stating, "I could never be a stay-at-home parent, I'd be driven insane! I don't know how you do it!" Little did I know I would be eating those words just over one year later, but for a far deeper reason than immediately obvious. I would often tell my wife and many others that I respect stay-at-home parents—I mean, I'm the person who said I could never do it myself. However, the humbling reality is that I used to say this ...

Why You Might Be A Kid Living In An Adult's Body

Do you remember when you were a little kid and all you wanted was to be old enough to bike around your block or neighbourhood alone?  I still remember feeling that freedom for the very first time! Do you remember when you were a preteen and all you wanted was to be old enough to stay out past dark with your friends, have sleepovers for days straight, and eat all the candy in the world? Do you remember when you started high school and all you wanted was to be old enough to drive and go anywhere you wanted with your friends? To make your own decisions and be in charge of your life? Then, finally, you got what you wanted all along. You got older. You became an adult. You gained freedom over your life and your decisions. You could finally choose the food you eat, the schedule you follow (well, other than school or work) the routines, the steps, the habits. Even if you make mistakes, "they're MY mistakes!" Right? After all, becoming an adult means freedom, decision, choice......
