Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen the future of blogging – and it’s dads! But fear not, this is no rallying cry or declaration of war – quite frankly, it’s a pretty daunting place, this future of blogging… I should probably start at the beginning… When I first started on my journey as a ‘daddy…
As a lot of you will probably have figured out by now (either from this blog or some of my other social presences), I’m a massive fan of Lego. As well as a life-long enjoyment of the toy itself, I’ve written about it on a few occassions too – both here (“15 Photos Every Lego…
As the father of two young boys, I often find myself comparing my children – or more specifically, their various developmental milestones and how quickly they reached them.

As we draw closer to Christmas (sorry) this also means that we are getting closer to our only son – Sam’s – 14th Birthday, and it’s made me think and reminisce somewhat. Looking back at our son’s childhood has also made me aware of the changes in the relationship between my husband and son –…
