Dad Bloggers in 2012 – The Best of List

What was great about the year 2012?  Not much you might say?  It was just the same ole stuff?  You might say that and it might be true.  Some things were better though.  My family is growing by one more.  I still have a job and my family is healthy.  I have a lot to be thankful for, but one more thing.  Dad Bloggers!  I have written a few posts over the last year about Dad Bloggers are Growing In Numbers and Dad Bloggers Unite!  My goal was to get Blogging Dads to join in helping each other and supporting each other.  A few weeks ago I saw a new group on facebook called Dad Bloggers.  It’s a private group right now by invite only and was started by Oren Miller over at BloggerFather.com.  I asked to join and have met many new Dad Bloggers that are friendly and helpful.  They all want the same thing…to help the Blogging Dads community!

A Dad named Brent from Designer Daddy came up with the idea of Dad Bloggers sharing their best posts of 2012, and the response has been great.  I am very proud to be a Blogging Dad and I am proud to be apart of a great group of dads that love their families…and blog about it.
