Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
This is where you’ll find all of my posts about parenting, from advice to reviews, and plenty of head-scratching.
There’s a scam on Facebook lately which you may not be aware of, but you may inadvertently be helping to propogate. Like all of the best (aka worst) scams, viruses and evil schemes, Facebook “Content Farming” relies on the kindness of strangers to help it spread, and plenty of you are falling for it –…
Around six months ago, I was invited to be a member of a growing Facebook group, specifically for Dad bloggers. In those six months, the community has grown to well over 400 members – which is both a blessing and a curse… Whilst it’s great to network with and learn from so many great bloggers,…
As a fully-fledged marketeer, I often find myself taking a different perspective on issues that other parents are debating. From TV shows to prams, I often find the (admittedly small) marketing part of my brain masticating a problem from a different view to other mums and dads. So I’ve been really interested lately to see…
Having a reasonable amount of experience in the heady world of SEO, I’ve been promising my fellow dad-bloggers that I’d give them some SEO pointers for a while now – so I’m finally getting round to it. I doubt I’ll be able to cover all of the important stuff in one post, so this may…
This happened this afternoon in our living room, and I had to share it. I say it was pointless, though it entertained them for almost half an hour, so maybe there’s something to be said for hiding in the same place every time… Perhaps I’ve been doing it wrong all these years?! :D Video after…

After a short hiatus caused by life getting in the way, my parenting panel is back in full effect. Stepping away from the TV for a while, I asked them to tell me about their favourite bedtime reads – and as you can see below, they did me proud. So, if you need a bit…
If you’re anything like me, becoming a parent will have made your life infinitely busier – and you’re bound to have thought of a few ideas that would make your lives easier. I know I do – whether it’s inventions to keep your house tidier, occupy the children, make things safer or just a bit…
As I’ve mentioned a few times over the summer, Sara and I recently invested in our first family tent, along with all the equipment needed for family camping trips galore. Several months later, and as the last remnants of summer begin to leave us for the year, I’m pleased to report that we’ve made great…
Some lovely people from Panasonic (they make lots of cooking stuff, like bread makers and combi ovens!) got in touch with me recently, asking if I’d like to give away a copy of cookery wizard Jo Pratt’s new cookbook – so I said yes, of course, because I’m nice like that. After all, who doesn’t…
