A while ago we outlined 20 mom lifestyle blogs you should become familiar with. Well, with Father’s Day quickly approaching, we’ve compiled a list of six dad blogs that offer insights on fatherhood to encourage equality and to help you prepare for Father’s Day.

These fathers discuss everything from superheroes to writing to photography to design, all while providing unique parenting perspectives.

While you’re here, did you know that MyPostcard offers the ability to capture father and child moments on a postcard or photo print? Check it out here.

Without further ado, here are six daddy blogs worldwide in no particular order:

The American Brent Almond illustrates his experiences being a gay father of an adopted son on Designer Daddy. His blog features LGBTQ thoughts, parenting adventures, adoption experiences, design projects, and superhero commentary.

He became more widely known as sticky note dad after Instagram posts of the sticky notes he placed in his son’s lunch box went viral.  Brent uses his graphic design background to enliven his blog, his child, and the world.

Ich Bin Dein Vater, or I am your father, is a German father blog written by three men, “colleagues, friends, and companions,” who work for a communication agency. They wanted to start a blog about something they cared about, like fatherhood, thus Ich Bin Dein Vater was born. Now, their blog features daddy self-help articles and honest reflections on personal experiences. From the dad blog site, you can access their newsletter and podcasts which are slightly more comedic.

Hiya, I’m Maud. I’m an English girl who's moved to Berlin - because who wouldn’t fall in love with a country which has words like ‘Kummerspeck’ hidden around every corner... I love traveling and finding out the quirks of each country - and what better way to remember them than on a postcard?

      Hey Steve,
      Thanks so much for your comment! I haven’t heard of Wilderdad before, so naturally I had to explore it straight away! I love your combination of adventure and discovering fatherhood and the mix of both of the above! You’re definitely on our short list for our 2021 update of the dad blog ranking!
      Best wishes,
      Maud
