13 years ago today at the beginning of my 2nd semester of being a stay at home Dad for the purpose of continuing the home education of my 3 children aged 22-13, 20-13 and 16-13 at the time (I take it you can do subtraction). I began this blog. Here is a link to my first post.
This never was a home education only blog. We finished homeschooling proper when our youngest daughter graduated Middle School in 2020. I haven't been the full time stay at home dad/home educator since 2013. Yet I continued to call this blog Home School Dad, shortening it to HSD a few years back.
HSD is just one of 4 blogs I have been producing over the past several years. On Dec 12, 2009 just 11 months after starting my first blog, I started a 2nd called Crazy Uncle Dave's Sports Blog. Here is the first post..
Sometime in 2011 I started a vlog at Word Press called Dave Out Loud. I abandodned the word press site and brogh Dave Out Loud to Blogger. Here is the first post.
In Janaury 2019 I decided to consolidate all my blogs and bring them to Word Press in a blog called Random Acts of Roller. Here is my first post.
In 2020 during the corona virus pandemic I decided to go back to HSD as my flagship blog and have had basically 2 flagship blogs ever since.
Over the past few weeks, I have been making some wholesale changes to HSD. First of all you can probably see it is no longer called HSD. I have changed the name to Leap of Dave.
I have also transferred all my Dave Out Loud And Crazy Uncle Dave posts here. I am still in the process of transferring all my Random Acts posts here as well. I will still be continuing posting sports content and videos and they will be labeled Crazy Uncle Dave or Dave Out Loud but they will appear in this blog. I am exploring leaving blogger altogether but could never really get the hang of Word Press. Until that day happens Leap of Dave becomes theone stop shop for all my blogging hijinks. With 13 years in the books I am hoping for smooth sailing and many more fine years in my blogging future.
