Big Daddy is more than just a name

Recently, a list was published on known Dad bloggers in Canada, by a Daddy Blogger. This was not a list of the top Daddy bloggers, just a general list. I recognized a few of the names. I inquired about being added to the list, with a simple comment on the Facebook post promoting the list “I would love to be on this list”. The response...
