This weekend I took Zoe on a Daddy daughter day to the Barbie Cafe which she’s been wanting to check out for a little while now. It had its own mini roller skating rin, food and drinks were brought out in Barbie cars and for some reason people kept calling me Ken….which took a little getting used to lol. She absolutely loved the whole experience.

I’ve been doing Daddy Daughter Days with the girls ever since they were little. Of course we enjoy doing things together as a family, but I feel these Daddy Daughter Days really allow them to have a space where they feel seen as individuals. They get to pick the activity and the focus is just on them. During these days I usually get to see a slightly different side of them and we always have great chats. I’m blessed in the way the girls get along ( well most of the time anyway ), but they’re also very different to one another. A daddy daughter day with Ava usually has me lacing up my running shoes and knowing we’ll be doing something adventurous. While one with Zoe has me dusting off my dress shoes ( I literally had to clean all the dust off these black boots before we left the house! 😂 ) and often has us somewhere a little bit more fancy. But no matter where we end up on these days, I know we’re creating memories they’ll remember for years to come.

Low key, I think this past week would have made for a pretty dope Vlog. But here’s a little photo dump of what I’ve been up to.

I think when it comes to school holiday time different parents have different experiences and they’re all ok and valid. Just different. As a Father who’s kids only live with me half of the time, School holidays are my favorite times of the year. I get so excited to spend that extra time with the girls and create as many special memories as we can in that week and a half. These school holidays were no different. I made time to take Ava and Zoe on their own daddy daughter days and then we went to arcades, the movies, puppy painting, shopping with grandma and stayed up late watching old 90s family films together. But that week and a half goes by so quickly and is followed by a week and a half of a house that’s far too silent and clean for my liking and missing them like crazy. You find yourself wishing you could spend the whole holidays with them and not have to experience that rollercoaster of emotions that comes with seeing them every day and then not hearing from them for a week and a half. But that’s my reality and the reality of a lot of other parents out there doing the same thing. They say it gets easier, but after all these years I still miss them the same amount when they’re gone. But I’m so thankful to be a part of the memories we create when they’re here.

Ok I officially feel old now! On the l weekend I took the girls to a museum to show them what video stores used to look like. It made me realize how much I miss those Saturday nights with my Dad, browsing the shelves for our family movie nights.
I wonder what kind of every day things they’ll be taking their kids in the future to see at a museum and feeling the same way about it. Clothing stores maybe?

Would you give your kids a Yes Day? This was a little more chaotic than I expected 😳

Here's what happens when you let your kids make all the rules and be the parents for 24 hours. I basically got hustled into a YES Day.. But we had fun and HO...

A few snaps from my recent trip to Sydney for the launch of the brand new Temerario. Make sure to check out today’s Vlog for my first impressions of this monster of a car. I also made a trip to Bondi Beach, did the coastal walk and visited Rosie Campbells for the best Jerk chicken I’ve had in a while.
