Our last trip as a family of 2!

The realisation is really kicking in now, and the days on our countdown calendar are whittling away faster than skittles in a bowling alley. Soon, we won’t be a family of 2 anymore! Care free days will be a thing of the past. It’s because of this that we decided to get away for a weekend and have a...

Letter To My Unborn Son

I've been struggling for time to blog recently. Life at work and at home have been super busy, and inspiration has been lacking.

Baby Shower? But I'm the Dad!

  Dad's nowadays are that much more involved than they used to be it seems- Or at least for the most part anyway. Men are expected to attend the birth and even play a role in the delivery process; paternity leave laws have changed and roles throughout the entire relationship have practically...

The Father Effect

  I don't usually blog twice in a day - I don't usually have time, or even the inspiration to do so. Today though is different. I recently came across a short film titled The Father Effect via Twitter and have been meaning to watch it for a week now. I finally got around to viewing it and...
