I learned of the Parent Tested Parent Approved “Seal of Approval” long before I began my blogging journey. In fact, the first time I saw it was on a PlaSmart toy I purchased for the kids, that they loved! Ever since that day, I have purchased a number of other products from PTPA Winners. From […]
While taking some good natured ribbing from my friends about my new found voice as, “Canadian Dad”, it occurred to me that the perception of what I’m doing might not match up with the goal of why I’m doing it. My goal is not to portray myself as some kind of Super Dad for spending […]
It’s no secret, to those who know me that I have worked very hard to build my blog and to connect with as many bloggers as possible in my 8 months in this space. I have built some great relationships with bloggers, brands and PR folks alike. It is also not a secret that I […]
November has quickly become one of my favourite months of the year! Not just because of my birthday *ahem, November 14th* but also because of a yearly tradition called, “Movember”. What began as a small fundraiser out of Australia, has quickly turned into a global phenomenon and I’m all in! Movember is an initiative started […]
As a father of 2 blossoming children with busy schedules, a full time shift work job, home day care and multiple other commitments, it’s rare that I get to spend any quality alone time with either child.

I like to think of myself as a pretty laid back parent. Not in an “I don’t care what my kids do” kind of way, but I’m definitely willing to let them explore the world and learn on their own. I have to admit, I’ve even chuckled to myself at times while watching parents’ who […]
Yeah, I said it! In fact, I didn’t even get a T-Shirt because my son took it right off my back! Never have I been as humiliated as I was this past weekend when my 4 year old son asked if I would play Mario Kart on the Wii with him, and then he proceeded […]
This is another one of those moments where I reveal a part of myself that most of you don’t know about. It’s a darker side of me that tends to take over my life for months at a time and makes me do things I am usually not proud of. I am a poolie. That’s […]
I know what you’re thinking, “What does a Dad know about Baby Showers?” You’re probably right, I don’t know much about planning or attending any type of shower, other than the one I visit every morning before work. You caught me, I am not Super Dad. For all the whining I do about wanting equality […]
Hey guys, if you are a Batman fan, I’m sure you’ve already seen “The Dark Knight Rises” by now. That doesn’t mean that I’m not still going to fill your briefcases with swag from the movie, courtesy of my friends at IMAX! I was going to give my review of the film next, but then […]
