About me

Me and Frey Frey... selfie!!!

I’m Pete…

I am a self-employed business guy that recently had a little girl named Freya. My first thought was that working from home would be the perfect situation for having a kid… nope! Ever since my wife (Jannika… Yon-i-cah) went back to work I’ve been working at night, and Freya takes up my days… I planned on starting this blog over a year ago. That didn’t quite work out. But, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I am lucky to have been able to chill with my little girl every day.
This last year has been an amazing experience raising our little girl, but when needed, I didn’t find the info that I was looking for on the interwebs. I am the youngest of six, so my parenting (and luckily my wife’s) is based on the belief, “I survived stuff, so I’m sure my little girl will too.” Although sometimes I guess I just wanted something (or someone) on the world wide web to verify or back me up, and perhaps from a guys perspective. There is a lot of info out there, but I feel like most of it is the ‘don’t do this’, ‘don’t do that’, fear-based info that we see all the time. I tap into my parents’ knowledge base on a regular basis, and now we’re growing our own knowledge base… and I plan on writing it down. I mean, Freya is still alive, and a happy little girl…

Postscript: My grammar might be terrible in this blog. I’m already having trouble with interchanging the plural pronoun ‘we’ with the singular pronoun ‘I’, and I switch my tenses from past, present to future quite frequently. Struggle through it… you’ll live.
