(N.B. As of November 2020, The DADventurer is no longer active – thanks for your support over the last 6.5 years!)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