About The Everygirl Media Group

This generation of dads is doing it differently.

You want to raise a good kid, be a solid partner, and still have some time for yourself. It’s a lot, and it goes fast. From those first steps to packing the car for college, raising a good human is no (dad) joke.

So think of us as a group of dads just trying to figure it out. We’re all about tips, parenting hacks, and raising a glass to the guys who are redefining what it means to be Dad.
