Welcome to the dad days!
If this is your first time finding me, my name is Josh and I’m a stay at home dad. I care for my two boys that are the joys of my life. Our second son was very premature (23 weeks!) and still has a tracheostomy and feeding g-tube. My content will be a little bit of everything: sourdough starter, homemade bread baking, DIY home projects, mens clothing staples, cooking for my family, caring for my medically special needs son, and turning leftovers into something new. Just a few things The Dad Days are filled with.
My goal is to encourage everyone and show them that even when life doesn’t go according to your plan, you can still choose joy and celebrate the victories.
Thanks so much for watching! Please consider liking this video and subscribing to my channel if you are interested in my content. Stay tuned for more dad days!
