TackleNappy Dad of the Year

2012 Guest Judges

Penny Johnston

"Can you ever be prepared for the arrival of a baby in your life?  It’s a tsunami of change that shakes you from head to toe.  It’s not just your spare room that changes with the arrival of a baby, it’s your lifestyle, relationships and even your friendships that undergo a rough renovation.   Penny Johnston spent the last year in that very same tumble dryer and came out the other end wondering what she could ever have done to prepare her for the rollercoaster ride of becoming a mother.  Since being back at work she’s searched out the experts and the quirky stories, tried to tackle some myths and wives tales to bring you some of the most interesting, quirky and difficult aspects of being a parent.  Baby talk is the result of genuine first-hand experience and a journalist's need to know why!  Even if your baby boom was a few years ago, you can join in and remember, laugh and offer advice to the parents who are part of Australia’s new baby boom."
