The Launch of Dad Exchange

Category // Dads Making News

Happy Father's Day to all! After hours upon hours of toiling in the code, creating custom PSDs, PNGs, JPEGs and GIFs just to name a few. We have come to the much anticipated point of beginning the great endeavour of launching the #1 online community for dads--DadExchange.com.
