Top Dad Blogs to Follow

Although smaller in number that the mommy blogs, sites with a dad focus are increasing by the day. The best ones are updated with helpful tips and stories that other dads - and even moms - can relate to as they navigate the daily chaos known as parenting.

When you need a parenting lifeline, you can look at our list to find blogs written by stay-at-home dads, single dads, gay dads, and even self-proclaimed geeky dads. These fathers have ideas on great gear, advice for following a particular lifestyle, and all-around useful parenting wisdom.

At CreditDonkey, we understand being a dad is a costly effort. It takes up (invaluable) time and can weigh down a wallet when Jr. or Sally needs a new bike or needs to reach a fundraising goal at school. By reading up on what other dads are going through, you can figure out whether you are spending your time and your hard-earned money wisely at every parenting turn. Start with our list of very best dad blogs.
