I am one of those people who always has a head full of thoughts and ideas. I always have been and I always will be. One of the reasons that I started blogging was because I had so many ideas and thoughts and memories and stories running through my head and I needed a way to get them out. I have actually found blogging to be quite therapeutic and liberating as it has made room in my brain.
However, I am also one of those people who likes to try and do too much at once. In a typical week I can be at work for 50-60 hours and I need to fit in other stuff around that such as organising school and work runs in the morning, organising school pick ups, organising after school activities, food shopping, housework and whatever else goes on in a typical week. Throw on top of that the fact that I signed up to do a 12 month course through work and the admin work I do for the office (which I do during work time) including annual reports and campaigns. I take on quite a lot but I somehow manage to balance it well and fit in plenty of down time with my wife and kids, catch up with friends and spend time with my parents and manage to have some sort of a life.
So, typically, when I decided that I would start blogging I ended up not only doing my own blog but becoming part of a group blog with three other guys. I met Adam, Rich and McDadface (he likes to remain anonymous - I know who he is though - I will sell you the information for 1000 bags of Space Raiders) through Twitter when McDadface asked the question:
"Do we need a Dadsquad?"
I replied to say that we do, as did Adam and Rich, and the next thing you know we have become the founders of "Dadsquad". We set up a new Twitter page and we then discussed ideas and what the whole point of Dadsquad was and what we aim to achieve from it. We continued to discuss and came up with a schedule of sorts (we all have our own blogs to concentrate on too) and thrashed out a few ideas and, for now, we have settled on what we will do and who will do it.
And that brings me to this post. I was recently asked by one of my friends (a real one, not a virtual one):
"What's that Dadsquad thing you promote all the time?"
I explained what it was and the whole purpose of it. And he said:
"Ah that's cool. So Dadsquad is a blog by Dad's discussing Dad things in a typical Dad way"
I couldn't have out it better myself. So that is what Dadsquad is and the rest of this post is shamelessly promoting it in the hopes that you will check it out.
