“Daris Howard is a master of short-form storytelling on family issues. His columns are wrapped around an anecdote from his own childhood, or from his experiences as a parent and husband. Life’s Outtakes are often funny, with a moral to every story, and a takeaway that is inspiring. It is like a nonpharmaceutical mood stabilizer and spirit booster that sends you back into the parenting fray with greater confidence about how to achieve harmony.” Patrick Hedland, Managing Editor of The Mountain Enterprise
