Which dad will you be at Sports Day this year?
Your weekend starts here.
Happy Saturday Dads!
Sports Day is an event that always threatens to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Whether you believe it to be your moment to win at all costs:
Vogue went on to share that Theodore came first in his race, but Spencer was too caught up in his own victory to brag about his son’s win to family and friends.

Or you’re convinced it will be the start of your child’s road to sporting greatness, despite their own views on the matter.

Our advice is to remain cool and not to take the proceedings too seriously. Let’s be honest, it’s not like those hamstrings are going to last forever.

💻 Hack of the week
Our Travel Series ep.3
Keep this idea in the back pocket next time you end up at the beach torn between rescuing your toddler from the crashing waves and leaving your wallet lying around for all to see.
*Just remember NOT to drop it in the nappy bin as you leave the beach.

⭐ How the stars do it
Phil Foden thanked his lucky stars this week that Jude Bellingham came up with the goods in the dying seconds of England’s game against Slovakia on Sunday, but perhaps for more selfish reasons.
Link here.
“I thought 'I'm 30 seconds away from doing baby feeds at home here'. So thanks to Jude for that, he saved me there.”
That’s it for this week folks.
Thanks again for reading, as always we leave you with one HILARIOUS joke to share with the family.
“I used to have a teacher at school called Miss Turtle.
Weird name, but she tortoise well.”
