Single dad. Ex-chef.
Used to work 60-hour weeks in a kitchen.
Now it’s dinner, home ed, then she tries to steal my chair for Fortnite or Minecraft...🤣
This page is:
• recipes and lazy chef hacks
• kids in the kitchen
• learning that doesn’t look like school
• games after the plates are in the sink
Not a guru.
Just raising her in real time.
What does after-dinner look like at yours?
Holidays went too fast.
Fortnite. Minecraft. Late nights. Sleep-ins.
Cinema. Ice skating. Sleepovers.
Daddy-daughter dates.
Term 4 starts tomorrow.
First full term of unschooling.
We’re ready.
School was starting to shrink her.
Too many kids, not enough room for how she learns.
Not the teacher’s fault. Just the system.
She’s happier. Settled. Excited to learn.
The daily meltdowns are mostly gone.
She’s more herself.
That’s the whole point.
Haven’t posted in a week. 😬
Last week of term.
Now holidays.
Busy in the best way.
Wouldn’t change a thing.
Almost two years ago it felt like the end.
I thought I’d failed.
It wasn’t the end.
It was the start of finding out who I was as a dad.
Mindset.
Mental health.
Meditation.
The gym.
Showing up for a little girl who didn’t understand why her world changed.
I’m stronger now.
Happier.
Closer to her than I’ve ever been.
Family still in my corner.
She’s still my everything.
Grateful doesn’t cover it.
Have you ever felt like its the end and it was actually the beginning? 🤔

Dance this morning.
Swim this afternoon.
Smiles all day.
Watching her thrive is the whole point.
Two classes. One very tired dad. Still grinning.
No schooling today.
Gym time. Laundry time.
Then she calls from her mum’s phone.
“Meet me in the lobby.”
So now I’m rushing the last set
so I can get home and hunt sprites with my gamer princess.
Dad life.
What’s your Saturday looking like?
Library day.
She didn’t feel like learning.
Wanted movies and the couch.
So we hugged until she was ready.
Hit lunch with a smile.
80% of the plan already done.
Rest of the day off. Chill earned.
Also week 5 of the rat project.
Ends with two real rats.
I’m not ready. She is.
This is why we do it at home.
Proud of her. Learning next to her.
What’s your version of a hard morning that still turned?
Low key Monday.
Raced around the playground.
Reading. Writing. A bit of sneaky science.
She smashed the lot with a smile.
Early finish.
Zero Build. Sprite hunt.
Then a long-jump map where she snuck into my chair and spent all my coins while I made dinner.
Teaching. Learning. Gaming. Giggling.
Grateful doesn’t cover it.
She’s my world.
What did your Monday actually look like?
Slept in this morning. Gym. Shower. Washing.
Then a few games of Zero Build and Lego Fortnite with my gamer girl from her mum’s.
Headsets on. She’s singing Miku Miku. 🥰
Time to get off for dinner and she says.. “GG’s Daddy. I love you.”
House is quiet now. That sentence is still in the room.
What’s the last thing your kid said that stayed with you?
🤖 Made with AI
Off to mini golf with my daughter this morning.
Then an American diner for lunch.
Simple day. Good people.
Grateful for the ones who show up.
We are blessed.
Who’s your “special people” this week?
Burger night.
Then Minecraft on the couch with my princess.
Got lost in the Nether.
Took us an hour to find our way home.
Best kind of Thursday.
What’s the last game that ate your whole night?
