Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
Today was our 38-week hospital appointment – the (hopefully) final appointment before baby arrives: an appointment which we never got to in Robert’s case. As far as I can tell, the only thing they actually did – after almost 90 minutes of waiting and 3 different medical professionals – was check Sara’s urine sample and…
As it’s Father’s Day, I thought it might be nice to show a little love to some of my favourite fathers – famous faces you’ll know, and a few you might not. All of them are dads though, and people who I love to follow online (in a Twitter sense, rather than a stalkerish way!)…
At 38 weeks, this week marks the time in our first pregnancy when Robert was born – so anticipation is running fairly high in our house at the moment. As with most pregnancies, Sara is looking a little bigger this time around (supposedly the muscles having relaxed more during the last pregnancy causes more “expansion”…
Three years ago this morning, I became a father. At 01.37am on June the 14th 2008, my life changed in a pretty big way – and in a few weeks time, it’ll all be turned upside down all over again. But don’t worry though, I’m not going to get all weepy on you – a…
In case you missed it earlier (though I can’t imagine HOW you missed it – isn’t EVERYONE watching Cbeebies at 7am?!), here’s some screenshots of Robert’s card that I made him on the Cbeebies “Birthday Time” segment this morning – thanks for showing it so well, Sid! You can watch it on iPlayer if you…

I’ve been walking around all day with Superman!
With just under 4 weeks to go until Baby #2 is due, we’re entering in to the final stages of prep-work – washing baby clothes, assembling cots/moses baskets, digging out the baby cutlery, breast pumps, etc etc. Being the second baby makes things a lot easier in some respects – we’ve already got a lot…
Despite their brilliance, the official Cbeebies Facebook page only has a relatively small number of fans, so a lot of people might have missed the BRILLIANT list they posted a few weeks back… “You Know You’re a Cbeebies Dad When…” Take some time to have a read of it, but here are a few of…
Earlier this evening I spent some time doing something I often like to do – reading other fellow father’s blogs. One of the blogs I like to read on a regular basis is “A Family Runs Through it“, and today he re-ran a story called “Fear and Suffering” which reminded me of an experience I’d…
