Okay, maybe not all bloggers, but Papa of Papa Rocks is the mega-patriarch of a whole string of folks who’s make excellent blogs (some of which ThisNext has already spotlighted). “Dad to Heather (One Woman’s World),” he tells us, “Kathryn (Daring Young Mom), and 3 kick-butt non-blogging kids, whose real identities are top-secret.”

He’s also put together a terrific personal blog of his own, including a recent entry that is ThisNext’s philosophy personified: “Our houses are full of things that others might call ‘stuff’,” he says, “but to us are priceless treasures because of what they represent, the memories they invoke, the feelings that they awaken inside of us. They are not ‘just stuff’. Because they make us happy, remind us of where we came from, who we are and maybe even who or what we would like to become” We couldn’t’ have said it better ourselves.
