Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast, where we provide one lesson every single day to help you with your most important job, being a parent.

I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and insights from

parents just like you all over the world. Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps.

We took some amazing trips this summer, some just my wife and the kids and I, sometimes with our in-laws, just been

traveling a bunch. And so obviously, our phones are filled with pictures of the family reunion

we went to, of our trip to Greece, our trips to the beach, and then also just craziness

around the house. And what we do with the pictures that we like in our family and to the people we've given one of these two as a gift, so we put those photos in an aura frame.

So we can live those moments again and again at home.

ORA frames was named the best digital photo frame by wirecutter, and you'll very quickly see why.

Unlimited storage, you can add as many photos and videos as you like,

and it's really simple to set up. You just plug it in and share away. For the moments that made

your summer and the people who made it matter, start reliving your favorite memories by

Do not make them this. They are so fun. They are so cute. And maybe you're a little lonely. Maybe you need the lightness in your life. Maybe you could use a friend or a fan. Certainly it's good to spend lots of time with them to show them the world together,

and child care is really, really expensive.

But you know what?

Your kids are not little accessories for you to bring with you everywhere.

They are not little pets for you to show off for attention.
