In this episode, Pavlos and I chat about his mom and Mother's Day. He tells us how old he thinks his mom is, brings his sister in for a quick Mother's Day message, and reveals what he would buy his mom if he could get her anything in the world.  You have to hear his answer!

If you're talented with a pen and paper, or graphic design, and want to have some fun, share your best rendition of what Pavlos describes and I'll share it here!  Be sure to put your website on the pic if you got one so people can know where to find you!

Pavlos also shares his Happy Mother's Day song and puts me on the spot to sing one too…

How cute is his little Jersey accent?!?!  I should have named this episode the Special Mudder's Day Episode…

About the Show:

Five Minutes With Dad is the podcast where you get to listen in on a little father-son time with me and my four-year-old son Pavlos.

The podcast is all about powering down and spending some extra quality time with your kids.  We'll share resources and have a lot of fun along the way.

And we keep it nice and short.

For two reasons:

First, have you ever tried to keep a four year old in a chair with big headphones and a monster-sized microphone for more than 9 seconds?  🙂

Second, we keep it short so we all can power down and get back to some awesome face-to-face time with the kids.

Every week we'll share a resource with you, too!

Pavlos and I have a great time just introducing you to our personalities and our chemistry.  And we have a special guest who I know you'll love!
