Your kids will feel your love, hear your voice, and cherish your wisdom FOREVER....
Fatherhood moves fast. One day you’re cradling your newborn, and the next, they’re packing for college. Time flies, but your love and presence don’t have to fade.
What if you could create a gift so powerful that your kids could feel your love, hear your voice, and cherish your wisdom for decades to come? That’s exactly what Dad’s Making History is all about.
Hi, I’m Blake Fly. I’m the husband to Emily, the proud dad to Koah and Summer, and the founder of Dads Making History.
When Koah was born, I wanted to track the journey of his life. On his monthly birthdays, I’d take pictures, and sometimes, I’d interview him with a fake microphone and call it “Koah News.” He didn’t say much, but it was hilarious, and I loved doing it.
But as life got busier, I fell off.
When our daughter Summer came along, it felt like she had a post-it note on her forehead that said, “Make me those messages and don’t forget.” I knew I needed accountability to keep it going, so I assembled a team of dads and called it Dads Making History.
If you want accountability and inspiration, join us in Dads Making History.
Here's how it works:
Weekly Email Prompts: Every week, you’ll get an email prompt from me with a thoughtful question or idea to reflect on. These prompts help you think about your role as a dad so you can Make & Save your monthly message.
Make Your Message: It could be an audio, a video, a written letter, a photo, or even a piece of art. We tell stories, share memories, thank our child, or acknowledge them. These messages are made in the present to gift to our child in the future, serving as a priceless memento of their past.
Save it to Your "Forever Folder": Save your monthly message to a simple Google Drive or other digital space to store your messages. There's no special software for this. It's not about fancy tools—it’s about keeping it simple, meaningful and accessible.
Share the Gift: Pick a trusted Dad Friend to have the link to your Forever Folder, ensuring your child will always have access to these messages, no matter what.
Imagine Your Child Hearing Your Voice Decades from Now...
At first, I created audio and video messages for my children, capturing moments, stories, and love.
It hit me how powerful this simple practice was. But I also realized...
So, I started Dads Making History to make it easier for dads to stay consistent and build a legacy their children will treasure forever.
Every month, we dads take one small action to create a timeless gift for our kids.
With a little support, all done via email, you can turn fatherhood into a legacy of love.
Not much at all! Each message can be as short as 30 seconds to a minute—done in the time it takes to sip your coffee.
The prompts are simple, so you don’t need to overthink it.
Just a quick story, thought, or message will do once per month.
I’m not great with technology. Will this be hard?
Not at all! All you need is your phone to record your messages and a simple folder (like Google Drive) to store them. No fancy apps, no complicated setups—just you and your memories.
What happens if I miss a month?
Life happens, and that’s okay! The weekly prompts help you stay on track and remind you, but there’s no pressure to be perfect.
Even a few messages per year can make a huge difference to your children later on.
