Life Goal Overview

To simply become a parent, father, dad, but not just any, the best to my family.

What inspired me to do this?

I need little people to hold my camera bag when doing landscape photography!
No, seriously though, it's been a passion and ambition of mine throughout growing up. I've always liked kids because I've always had a child's mentality and having my own would simply be a dream.

Planning & Details

Find the right girl.

The Story

I met my partner and the rest is history! Before I knew it we'd moved out, shared car's, had a family and were well into the routine of school runs, nappy changing and bottles of milk. It's hard to remember the times I wasn't a parent. Like my partner said on the arrival of our second child "Can you imagine life without him now?" and she was right, despite being a day or so old I couldn't imagine life without him, yet that was only last week! Weird.

I think being a parent is the most incredible thing ever, to have little eyes look up to you for love, care and guidance is quite an experience on it's own.
It's always the small things that matter the most, like dancing around the living room to Timmy Time or the moments they ask can they go to "Old Mac Donald Had a Farm" (aka, McDonalds).
