Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger

So I have been given the privilege of writing a guest post for this blog… let me start by telling you who I am! I’ll set the scene first: it was a dark stormy night… well no it wasn’t but it would be more interesting. My story begins in March of 2012, when I found…

Whilst we usually stick to Johnsons “no more tears” products for our bath-time bubble provisions, I certainly have nothing against other bath products. If anything, we buy…
A long time ago (not in a galaxy far, far away – sadly) the nice people at the Name Label Company asked if they could send me some of their magical name labels for me to review. I happily agreed, they sent me a small bundle of labels (for both Robert and Freddie) and they…
Early last year I put up a post called “Fatherhood²: 15 Photos Every Lego Fan Will Love (Updated)“, containing some of the great Lego models I had seen shared around the web at the time. Well, I thought I’d share some more of my favourites again this year – thanks mainly to some amazing Lego…
