"Island ahoy!"
The game of 'The Floor is Lava' had begun...
The stakes were as high as the excitement in their voices.

The stakes were as high as the excitement in their voices.
"The lava monster stirs...!" I warned, as our lovable Labrador playfully bounded towards us, eliciting shrieks of thrilled terror from the kids.
We navigated the treacherous terrain of our living room.
Jumping from the island of a pillow to the mountain of the lounge.
Each successful jump met with cheers.

For a long while, our home was an erupting volcano of laughter and joy...
Each new challenge accepted with the bravery of seasoned adventurers.

But eventually, the fiery rivers cooled, the islands settled, and a calm spread across our domestic landscape.
The game had run its course, and a quiet sense of longing took its place.

Jeremy, have you felt that void?
That sudden stillness after the thrill of play?
When the echoes of laughter fade and you're left with the daunting task of rekindling the dwindling embers of imagination?

...
It was in the midst of that silence, watching the children's eager eyes slowly cloud over with boredom, that an idea was conceived...
The concept of the Family Indoor Activity Deck began to take shape.
A deck that's not just a band-aid for boredom but a trove of endless adventure, waiting to be unlocked.
The cards, a beacon of imagination...
Inviting every member of the family, regardless of age, to dive back into the warmth of shared stories and activities.
They're a promise that the end of one game only marks the beginning of another.
While this idea has been secretly cooking under the hood at Dad Certified for a while now...
We're finally in the home stretch, Jeremy!
We're fine-tuning the last of the illustrations, each one a vibrant call to action for fun-seekers like you.

And as we anticipate the release of the Family Indoor Activity Deck in the coming weeks...
(in time for early December delivery)
Let me not forget to announce that the Dadventure Diary - Box Set, is finally back in stock after selling out over Father's Day!
All pre-orders were dispatched yesterday and the team is ready and waiting for your order.
But, act quick...
They're the perfect Christmas gift, but with limited supply, they won't last long before they sell out again!

We're here for you, Jeremy.
To make each day with your family not just another day...
But a chapter in the grand story of parenthood.
To make the journey less about 'getting through it' and more about savouring every laugh, every leap, every shared victory over the lava monsters of life.

Eat Out at a Fancy Restaurant 🍽 (Time to get dressed up in your Sunday best! Find a nice restaurant you haven't tried before and take the kids for an unforgettable dining experience as they try new foods and flavours for the first time.)

Get back into dating your husband/wife/partner again! No babysitter? No excuse! There is so much fun to be had having date nights at home!
Staying In Date Night Idea:
