Taking Care Of Yourself After Having A Baby

June 17, 2018June 17, 2018 The DADventurer

I see plenty of advice saying that mums need to remember to look after themselves during the postpartum period. But what about us dads? Now, I’m not for one minute suggesting that mums don’t need to take care of themselves or that dads have had it as tough as mums. Anatomy means that they’ve either […]

Review: The Original Konfidence Swim Jacket (At Splash Landings Waterpark)

August 15, 2017August 15, 2017 The DADventurer

A few weeks ago, we had the chance to visit Alton Towers as part of our role as Konfidence Swimologists during 2017. During our mini-break, we were able to stay at the brand new CBeebies Land Hotel, visit the main theme park and CBeebies Land, plus also check out the waterpark at the Splash Landings […]

Review: Cut Out Heart Fingerprint Necklace From Hand On Heart Jewellery

December 1, 2016December 1, 2016 The DADventurer

It’s no secret that I struggle to buy presents – I’ve mentioned it multiple times on this blog before. It’s not that I don’t want to buy gifts for my loved ones, I just struggle for inspiration – particularly after all the special occasions during our 11 years together as a couple. As such, I always […]

Review: Updating My Look With Specsavers And GANT

July 21, 2016 The DADventurer

I make no secret of the fact that my appearance isn’t always up to scratch. Be it my deteriorating physique or lacklustre dress sense, looking ‘good’ just isn’t at the top of my list. I try, but stuff just kind of gets in the way – I say stuff, but we all know that I really […]

Review & Giveaway: Create Your Own Onesie With £100 Voucher For The All-In-One Company

June 17, 2016June 24, 2016 The DADventurer

I’ve written previously about how my stay-at-home dad fashion sense is geared more towards comfort and practicality rather than style. However, I can now have all three due to a recent collaboration with The All-in-One Company! This has seen me design awesome bespoke onesies for Toddler L and myself – but what’s more, they’re also […]

Touching Cloth: Our Experience With Reusable Nappies

March 27, 2016March 27, 2016 The DADventurer

Over the last year or so, we’ve used a combination of disposable nappies and cloth / reusable nappies for Toddler L. This has included premium disposable nappies like Pampers, supermarket own brand disposable nappies such as Tesco, and a range of cloth / reusable / hybrid nappies like Tots Bots, gNappies, Close Parent, Charlie Banana, Daisybirds Kids and […]

Pampers Premium Protection Active Fit Nappies #SagGoneGrooveOn

March 1, 2016 The DADventurer

I’ve learnt a lot of different baby-related stuff since becoming a dad nearly 19 months ago. Once a novice when it came to what to do and how to do it, I’d like to think that I’m now capable of more than holding my own when it comes to kids – well, babies and toddlers at […]

Review & Giveaway: Win A £50 Voucher For Art Of Football

January 6, 2016January 11, 2016 The DADventurer

I’m a huge football fan and have worked in and around the sport for the past three years. Even though I’m now a stay-at-home dad, I still manage to find time to write football and betting previews as a part-time job. Before this, I also did a few cool things like work for a football betting […]

Review & Giveaway: Win A £50 Voucher At Zazzle

December 24, 2015January 6, 2016 The DADventurer

One of my favourite places to buy stuff at the moment is online retailer Zazzle. I’m pretty new to shopping there, but I’m mesmerised by the vast array of products and their focus on personalisation. As such, I’ve teamed up with them to share the love and offer one lucky reader the chance to win […]

Welcome To The DADventurer!

The DADventurer blog family photo on beach 2

(N.B. As of November 2020, The DADventurer is no longer active – thanks for your support over the last 6.5 years!)

I’m Dave (AKA The DADventurer), a thirty-something, stay-at-home dad to my 6 year old daughter (L) and 2.5 year old son (‘Beetle’).

I started sharing my experiences, thoughts and random musings about parenthood when the Missus (Hayley) was pregnant in 2014. Since then, I’ve written about anything and everything related to dad life in an honest, relatable, light-hearted and often sweary way.

As the kids have got older, the blog’s focus has become less about them. Family life is still at the heart of everything I write about, but I’m a bit more ‘Men’s Lifestyle’ than pure ‘Dad Blog’ these days! That means less child-specific content and more home tech reviews or family travel.

The DADventurer has consistently been recognised as a top UK dad and parenting blog, most notably ranking as #1 UK Dad Blog (Vuelio, 2018) and #4 UK Parenting Blog (Vuelio, 2018).

The DADventurer has also scooped multiple awards, including ‘Best Family & Lifestyle blog’ (Britmums BiBs, 2018), ‘Best Daddy Blog’ (Vuelio Blog Awards, 2018) and ‘Home Tech Influencer Of The Year’ (Bosch, 2019).
