You'd be forgiven for thinking that the human body couldn't run out of tears, but you'd be dramatically, and, painfully mistaken. Walking from fence to fence, door to door, house to house, I often wondered, as the sun was setting, cooling the earth at the end of yet another day, a day that not so [...]
Holy shit face. What a massive, epic, huge week! Not my usual intro. I know. But it's the truth. As I sit here with a glass of Tawny (Australian Reserve Tawny by The Tractorless Vinyard; in case you're interested) and my wife watches the new series called Yummy Mummies (watched from the corner of my [...]

A simple one sentence question unveiled a humbling array of responses that ranged from finding balance in personal time through to fears of inadequacy. Thank you to everyone who commented.

If you read my post about what I believe to truly be the world's GREATEST tradition, you would have seen just why I think our Siladji Friday Dinners top that list. That post received a tonne of attention! Looking back on all our dinners, I'm not surprised. Here's the vlog I promised for it... https://youtu.be/_TXgO0eF_w4 [...]
Realistically I'd tell you to take my opinion for a grain of salt. I'm a relatively young Dad at 30 and only having two kids, both of which are 5 and under means you could take this article as personal experience and perspective as opposed to expertise - if the latter even exists with parenting anyway.
