Every night after our baby girl’s bath I took her to the nursery and read stories before bedtime. It provided a lovely daddy-daughter time at the end of each day.

Here are 7 tips that may save the life of your child or a friend’s. Please share!

Our family loves going to the pool to have fun, and have a bite to eat as a family during the summer months. And I’ve recently found a way to make our pool trips even better.
