Like his brother, Freddie sometimes has trouble pronouncing certain letters. It doesn’t seem to be permanent – I’ve come to the conclusion it’s probably just laziness, as he CAN say all these sounds – and thankfully, it doesn’t seem to bother him. One of the sounds he sometimes struggles with is his “CH” sound which…

Fatherhood: 8 Things I’ve Discovered as a Father
One unfortunate quirk of the “rise of the blogger” – or more accurately, the rise of brands realising we exist – is that Father’s Day has turned into the Christmas of dad blogging. As a result, you will probably have spotted that many dad bloggers have suddenly had a glut of sponsored posts, competitions and…
Fatherhood: Don’t be a Dull Dad… Dad Jokes FTW!
As you can probably tell by now, Father’s Day (and the weeks running up to it) have no become the defacto time for brands to think about dads in their marketing campaigns. Whilst it will be nice if they remember us for the rest of the year, I’m not going to look a gift horse…

Fatherhood: Review – Hot Wheels Super Speed Blastway
My kids are already big fans of Hot Wheels, so when the folks at Mattel asked if they could send us their newest track-set to test out – along with a t-shirt from the new Hot Wheels collection – my boys jumped at the chance! The ‘Super Speed Blastway’ (I don’t know who comes up…
Dear Hollywood – stop treating bloggers like idiots
As you’ve probably guessed from the title, I’m about to have a rant. And not just a “Henry woke up on the wrong side of the bed” type of rant – this is one of those rants that is likely to get me blacklisted by just about every entertainment brand out there, forever highlighted in…
Fatherhood: Kids and Tech and Me
Any of you who have come into contact with me online will know that I’ve got a reasonably keen eye for a good gadget. Back when I first started this blog in 2011, for instance, I wrote a piece called “Baby gadgets aren’t always baby good-gets” which outlined some of my favourite gadgets for making…
Fatherhood: I Made It! Well, according to Netflix…
In what I can only assume is some sort of clerical error, the people at Netflix UK have deemed me worthy of joining their ‘Stream Team’. Aside from being an excellent, rhyming name, I’m not entirely what this involves but they have sent me a Netflix subscription and will keep me updated when new stuff…
Fatherhood: Review – The Toucan Box
Another week, another review – I must be getting better at this! Either that or the people offering me things to review haven’t actually read any of my other reviews. But it can’t be that, surely? :D Anyway, the people behind the ‘Toucan Box‘ club (club is the best word I can think of for…
