When you’re not sharing your brownie for shit...not even with @jimmysfarm ‘s prize peacock. 🦚🦚 #farm #brownie #peacock #son #dads #thehonestdad

#AD | What they don’t always tell you with parenthood is that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Parenting isn’t always straightforward, and that’s totally ok – that’s why I’ve partnered with @WaterWipes on its #ThisIsParenthood to show you the real side of parenting. This picture was taken shortly after our little boy’s birth. He was just a couple of weeks old and my wife had been rushed back into hospital following some post-C section complications. Pictures don’t always tell the full story. We ended up staying in for 3 days; in hindsight we shouldn’t have left so quickly after the birth. I suppose that we felt like we needed to look as though we were all fine - there’s so much pressure around coping. In fact, WaterWipes’ research found that 42% of UK parents feel the pressure to be a ‘perfect parent’ after spending time on social media. As much support as there is online, there’s also a lot of myths from seemingly perfect pictures... As parents, we all need to dispel this myth of perfection. Yes parenthood is amazing, but it’s also tough. Head over to my story for a link to their open letter to parents. #WorldsPurestBabyWipes #ad

Sometimes you just need to stop and realise how lucky you are 👶🏻💙 (...until you also realise you’ve not got any wet wipes with you and those Peppa lollies cause absolute destruction when they melt.) #summer #dad #dads #son #parent #parenting #village #outdoors #adventure #outdoor #activity #icecream #boy #lad #thehonestdad

#ad It’s always good to have the right tools for a job. This mud kitchen has been a work in progress for a little while - it’s so much better doing it yourself (or in my case getting my dad to do it) than buying things already made. One of the things I’m loving about the BLACK+DECKER Cordless 18V Drill is that the 18v Li-on batteries hold up to 80% of their charge for up to 90 days. So if you’re like me and you take a (long) while to finish jobs, you don’t have to faff with charging batteries when you get a bit of motivation. What’s more, the batteries can be used in different tools across the range #EasyWin @BlackanddeckerUK

AD | How have I only just realised I can pay for fuel on the BPme app? It’s a real time saver and also means I don't get blackmailed by my little one into buying sweets at the shop. It’s also handy when I’m flying solo as the app means I don’t have to get the boy out of the car to pay for fuel! Win. #ad #BP #BPme

AD | We live in a world which revolves around things which take our attention away from what’s really important. As a society, we’re so connected, we can easily become disconnected from each other in reality. This Fathers Day, I’m switching off completely. No screens, no interaction, just real life...and by that I don’t mean just not post all day and then post everything the next day, I mean off. Completely off. It’s good for the soul. Join me and @vodafoneuk and take a day off from technology. #ad #ScreenFreeFathersDay #dads #dad #vodafone #switchoff #family

Throw back to last week when summer came and went. Who else has got the fire/heating back on?! 🍦🍦 #boy #son #summer #gone #beach #icecream #99 #flake #sea #coast #dad #dads #heating #parent #parents #blog #blogs #thehonestdad

AD | I'm not going to lie, with a certain reality TV show being on most nights, I've been needing something to keep me busy. @FoxAtHomeUK have sent me through Rocky: The Complete Saga and I can't wait to watch these classics again...I mean watching Sly sweat is a lot better than watching people sunbathe all day! I'll never forget watching the first Rocky films with my dad when I was younger, some films just stick with you don't they? So which one shall I stick on first...? #ad #FoxFathersDay

A day in the sun would seriously be appreciated right now (as would an ice cream) - it’s going to be a manic hump day! When’s it the weekend?! ☀️👶🏻 #boy #holiday #humpday #sun #maldives #holiday #getaway #parent #parents #son #dads #dad #work #working #family #families #finohlu #travel #travels #blog #blogs #blogger #thehonestdad

AD | I love beer. Love. Supermarkets just don’t stock enough variation and it’s easy to get into just drinking the same brands over and over. No epic tastes, no amazing artwork on the labels, just bog standard beers. But it doesn’t have to be like that... The world of beer is a complex place but the legends at @thebeerhawk offer an expertly curated range of over 1,000 of the world’s best beers and they deliver them to your door. Beer Hawk’s mission is to inspire everyone to discover a new favourite beer wherever they are on their beer journey - from beer connoisseurs to gifters or simply, the beer curious. No longer are you limited to the usual few offerings! Every beer and curated box of beer contains Beer Hawk’s passionate opinion and expertise, from their highly-qualified beer buying team. If you’re looking for a Father’s Day gift, check them out! #beerhawk #fathersday #craftbeer #beer #ad

Throw back to when I knew where my sunglasses were. RIP, it’s been emotional. Is there anything more frustrating than losing stuff?! 😎👶🏻 #boy #sunglasses #beach #son #walk #countryside #outdoors #adventure #explore #family #parent #parenting #blog #dad #dads #blogger #blogs #writer #thehonestdad

AD | What is it about kids seeing others doing things and wanting to do them too? After seeing people on bikes now the weather has warmed up, the boy is eager to get onto two wheels....mixed success so far, but everyone loves a trier! It’s a laugh isn’t it...?! @britishcycling are encouraging people to get out on their bikes with their kids through their various #LetsRide events across the country. If you’re keen to find out more about what they have planned, see my stories for more info! Here are the event dates: Birmingham 9th June, Bristol 16th June, Norwich 30th June, Newcastle 7th July, Sheffield 14th July, Southampton 21st July, Liverpool 28th July and Glasgow 4th August. #ad #LetsRide #BritishCycling
