‘Stop fussing about yourself and get on with it.’ I used to think that people who put themselves first were being selfish. Until recently my thoughts were a combination of ‘Who are they to act on their own interests first?’ and ‘I wish I could go out/in that store/spend time with friends’. I felt so guilty about not being selfish, that I put being selfless first until I realised, (with a little help) that it was making me bitter. I kept thinking that ...

#5DadsGoWild: 2019 Ford F150 Review
What a sight, the F150 in fire truck red. I know that’s probably not the official colour name, but I can’t help but be reminded of my boyhood years looking up as the fire trucks would speed past. The bright red, the heroes sitting in their uniforms, off to save another day. This is ...

Make Your Own Pumpkin Spice Latte
It’s almost fall, which basically means that it’s PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON! Every food and drink company want to cash in on the belief that if they make it, you’ll buy it because it’s Fall. Bikini season is over so we might as well start carb-loading until Boxing Day. ...
Summer Clothes for a Dapper Dad
I genuinely dislike Summer. The stiflingly hot heat, the realization that my post-Christmas diet was a complete failure, and the lack of clothes that achieve more than survival. It’s so much easier to dress for the Fall or Winter as you can wrap up, use layers, and wear jeans pretty much ...
Step Aside ‘Influencers’ – the Dad Bloggers are Here
The self-titled ‘Social Media Influencers’ have created their own generational niche. For the most part, they’re attractive young women, who have honed the art of looking slightly away from the camera and having an incredible time. The issue is that, while they work ...
Are you a Superhero Dad?
Teaser – there’s a big giveaway from my friends at Marks Canada if you keep reading! As a Dad, I get to wear lots of different hats. Some actual hats, like a fireman helmet, a cowboy hat, and a kitty (not a hat but is insisted it goes on my head), and some figurative ones ...
