When I was a kid, I remember waking up on Mother's Day and making my Mum a breakfast menu. I wasn't much of a chef, but I'm pretty sure I put pancakes on that menu (😅👨🍳), as well as easy things like toast and cereal.
When Mum woke up I excitedly took my menu in and said I'd make her anything she wanted. 😍
You know what she chose?
"Cornflakes and muesli, please Jeremy." I was shocked.😲
"But Mum, that's what you eat every day!"🤔 I protested. "Don't you want something different today? I'll make you anything!"
She smiled and thanked me, and still chose cornflakes and muesli.🥣
When I was 20, my Mum passed away. 💔 I still miss her every single day - I think I always will. And even more so now that I have two amazing boys of my own. I really wish she was here to walk this parenting journey with me. 💔
So as I reflect on what Larissa (my wife) and I are doing here at Dad Certified, I realise just how important it is -
We're all about family. 💓
Some people call us a diary company but we're not. We're all about building confidence, deepening family bonds, creating memories, and recording those memories. 👏
Needless to say, if my Dad had gotten something like a Making Mum's Day Diary when I was a kid, and I had filled it out with menus and drawings and adventures and photos with my Mum - well you can imagine how much I'd treasure that now. 🏆💓😊
So, although this is my business and this could easily be seen as 'salesy', I want you to genuinely know something -
I believe in this product.🙋♂️
I created the Making Mum's Day Diary because I think that mums are worth celebrating(!!)🎉, and I think that dads are doing an amazing job and could use a helping hand to lighten the load sometimes.🙋♂️💪
That's what it does. It makes unforgettable memories, easily. 👏🙌
We genuinely hope that the Making Mum's Day Diary blesses your family and changes your home for the better, just as our other diaries have already for countless families across Australia. ❤😍

Cornflakes and muesli. Like mother, like son. 💓
Cheering you on 🙌

Dad Jokes of the Week
I thought it was a nice Jester
Two cows are standing next to each other in a field.
Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."
"I don't believe you," replies Dolly.
"It's true, no bull!"
There must be safety in numbers.
-
Car/Motorbike Show/Museum 🚗 (There's nothing like a classic car. Introduce your kids to what you used to ride around in as a kid and even show them what came before. A fun day out for all!)
- Bus Ride 🚌 (It might sound boring to you, but this is actually really fun for kids who have never been on a bus before! Great for young kids and great in any weather (as long as you don't have to wait in the rain). It's not about the destination but having a fun destination, like a new park, and ice cream place or even the sops, makes it a lot of fun!)
Date Night Ideas for this Week
Keep the spark alive with some of our date night ideas this week 😍🔥 (Even without a babysitter!)
Staying In Date Night Idea:
- Video Game Marathon 🎮 (Grab your favourite snacks and line up your favourite co-op, pvp or party video games. Set a timer so you don't get stuck on any one game for too long. If you don't own a console or PC, download some easy two-player games on your phone or tablet.)
- Glamour Night 👠 (Comfy clothes are great for parenting but take this chance to get dressed up nice and go out for cocktails or a fancy dinner. You’ll feel great!)
Cheering you on!
