The Girl Dad

For dads raising daughters who still care about where they eat, what they wear, what they read and how they spend a Saturday.

The idea

Becoming a girl dad doesn't erase the person you were on the way in. You still have strong opinions about coffee, sneakers and where to eat. You just have them now with a small hand in yours and a lot less time to waste.

That's the whole idea. Not a parenting brand, not a dad-joke account — a brand for the version of you that reads the menu closely and reads the bedtime story twice. Fatherhood as a point of view, not a personality transplant.

We keep it to what we'd actually use: honest writing, guides we'd hand a friend, and a hat we wear ourselves. Everything earns its place, or it doesn't get made.

Thoughts

Short pieces on the parts of raising a daughter no one warns you about. Funny when it’s funny, honest the rest of the time, never precious.
