Hi I’m new to your blog and honestly it’s seems like a very wholesome place to be and I love it but I am a smidge bit confused, what is this blog about?-Sincerely, Anon™️

Firstly, hello. Welcome to my blog. I’ll take your coat for you. Make yourself comfortable. There’s sponge cake and cocktail wienies in the lounge. And do please mind the wombats. They’re feral.

Secondly, my blog used to just be about parenting, specifically a chronicle about my handful of successes and countless more failures as a work-at-home father of twins. I found not only a thriving community of fellow parents here, but it also kicked off a new chapter in my career thanks to a book deal.

Then, I bailed on it for a while because Tumblr was sold to Yahoo, then Automattic (their spelling, not mine), then — I dunno — Burger King or some shit? It just felt different.

But, I came back because I just love Tumblr. And, since I spent nearly a decade building a sizeable group of followers here, I decided to broaden the topic from just parenting to the more delicately categorized “whatever the hell I want to post about.” So, that means I post about my kids and my parenting struggles, sure, but also:

I have another Tumblr (actually, I have waaaaay more than just two) that was supposed to be just about writing and various projects, but the people who follow me here are more responsive.

So, there you have it: My blog is about parenting as well as everything else.
