What?! Pluto is no longer a planet?
This is a personal blog written by a young dad, Kit, who is naturally fond of his first born son. In it he shares his and his wife’s experiences on raising their son and even offers some handy tips on traveling with kids. Suplado also chronicles their family’s out of town trips, tourist spots visited, resorts they have stayed in and restaurants they have eaten in. There are some very good photos posted as the blogger is also a photography enthusiast and hopes to turn his hobby into something more in the future.
Since the blogger is a Registered Nurse by profession, there are also some entries on health issues like erectile dysfunction and acne treatments.
However, the blog has quite an irritating habit of using only US based websites links for consumer goods and household items like water purifiers, crib bedding, packing cartons , etc. which we all know can also be sourced locally. Maybe he should also put up local products even if only for price comparison purposes. As we all know, too much of these and it can read like an blog-advertorial gone awry.
