Last year we froze. I bought the cheapest, last minute tent I could find ($29 poorly spent!) and I got in my sleeping bag after a long first day of meeting the other Dads at the first ever 5 Dads Go Wild camping trip. I was snuggled in but couldn’t help feeling the breeze from what I soon discovered was little more than a sun shelter for warm summer camping. After a terrible night’s sleep I woke up and tried to roll off my air mattress, which had to go diagonally in the tent ...
2019 Honda Pilot Touring – Test Drive and Review
I love that I get to try new cars and I’m always looking for a suitable replacement for our modest family car, a 2015 Ford Focus. The 2019 Honda Pilot Touring was admittedly not on my list of eye-catching family-sized SUVs. From the outside, it seems solid, attractive enough, but not ...

#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 ...

How a Fridge Saved My Marriage
Sponsored. Our old fridge came with the apartment. It wasn’t anything special, it just went along, doing it’s job. Until one day when it started to hum. I don’t mean that it was making a little noise, like most electronics do from time to time, I mean a ...
11 Things You Have to Stop Telling New Parents
“Just wait until the Terrible-Twos!” There are two possible scenarios where this is mentioned. Either our new pride and joy is being perfectly behaved and you’re keen to be the incredibly annoying reality check, or the baby is inconsolably wailing and you just couldn’t ...
Being A Dad is Hard
Being a Dad is hard. Some of the time it’s really tiring, and I don’t mean that sometimes I really fancy a nap, I mean that I could be laying on the cold floor in the depths of being truly shattered until I’m summoned by cries, and I honestly have to consider how to dig ...
Getting Over My Battle with Beards
Living in Canada, I’m surrounded by burly men who can grow a magnificent beard with no effort. While wearing their plaid shirts and wielding an axe, they fight bears and make grown-up business deals in the same afternoon. I, however scroll through Google for an answer to ‘How ...
