Advent of Bloggers: Day 2

For the second day of Advent of Bloggers, the other main theme here is it’s “dad blog”ishness.

I hope he won’t be upset to be referred to in such a way (there’s much more on his site), but I love Robert Heaton’s monthly roundups. Piglet’s almost exactly the same age as his son, so hearing someone elses successes and struggles is delightful. Especially during lockdown. In that way that blogging can be loud introversion, I often get more from these than small talk with other dads.

He curates is own “best of” section, so I’d recommend starting there. Or if it’s just the dad blogging, start with entry one
