As I’ve mentioned in a couple of my previous posts, in the past 3 years we’ve had a number of family photo sessions done with professional photographers. When Robert was born, my brother bought us 3 sessions at a photography studio, which we chose to use over 3 years at roughly the same time each…

This is where you’ll find all of my posts about parenting, from advice to reviews, and plenty of head-scratching.
Fatherhood²: Even More Baby Must-Haves
I’ve written a couple of posts in the past about both must-have baby purchases and over-rated baby gadgets, but since becoming a dad for the second time, I’ve been reminded of even more accessories and knick-knacks that have made my life easier. I’ve also asked around some other parents too, to get their must-have purchases….
Fatherhood²: Coming Soon – ‘The Other F Word’
As a father and a blogger – and a former movie reviewer – I was very excited to see the trailer of ‘The Other F Word‘ recently. I can’t remember the last time I saw a GOOD documentary about being a dad – apart from the odd “Fathers 4 Justice” report on something like Panorama,…
Fatherhood²: Guest Post – Joe Jackson isn’t a Daddy Blogger. I Am.
A long time ago, I had a personal blog. There was no reason or meaning or direction to the blog. It was just me talking about being confused by stuff that didn’t make sense. Like Republicans, or dumb jobs where you had to wear a piece of cloth that divided your upper body to make…
Fatherhood²: Routine – The Joys and the Sorrows
I don’t profess to be anywhere near an expert in parenting – in fact, I’d go as far as to say that in a lot of respects I’m nothing more than an amateur. But what I DO know is what has worked (and not worked) for my children. Routine is one thing that has made…
Fatherhood²: Guest Post – A Little Bit of Perspective
They say that having children changes you, your life will never be the same and in some cases will add years to you. I think one thing is for sure: having children changes the way you see things. In some simple respects, it could be the day to day things like driving a little more…
Fatherhood²: Danny Wallace is a Dad (Interview)
Danny Wallace is a man. This much we know from his popular column in ShortList magazine. But he is also so much more than a man – the presence of a Y chromosome in Daniel’s DNA is the least of his talents. He is also (in no particular order): A best-selling author; A TV producer,…
Fatherhood²: Want to Hear From Other Dads? Be My Guest!
I’ve been “daddy blogging” for almost 10 months now, and am slowly finding my feet. I’ve got some lovely regular readers as well as some lovely guest posters – some of whom don’t get half as much praise as they deserve. So I wanted to go some way to correcting that here, by highlighting some…
Fatherhood²: Guest Post – When a Part of a Dad Dies
It’s good but it’s not right… There are some things in life that are wrong, even when they’re right. Things that you know should happen, are appropriate and even to be expected, but you still don’t need to welcome them. Its birthday season in the Wall household. My eldest was 9 last week and the…
Fatherhood²: Which is Smarter – A 3 year-old or Some Pigeons? [VIDEO]
A short video which amused me quite a bit, taken this weekend when we went to feed the ducks on the Thames…
