Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
With just under 4 weeks to go until Baby #2 is due, we’re entering in to the final stages of prep-work – washing baby clothes, assembling cots/moses baskets, digging out the baby cutlery, breast pumps, etc etc. Being the second baby makes things a lot easier in some respects – we’ve already got a lot…
Despite their brilliance, the official Cbeebies Facebook page only has a relatively small number of fans, so a lot of people might have missed the BRILLIANT list they posted a few weeks back… “You Know You’re a Cbeebies Dad When…” Take some time to have a read of it, but here are a few of…
Earlier this evening I spent some time doing something I often like to do – reading other fellow father’s blogs. One of the blogs I like to read on a regular basis is “A Family Runs Through it“, and today he re-ran a story called “Fear and Suffering” which reminded me of an experience I’d…
Play well my son, for tonight you go to bed with no supper A wise sage, I think it was Superman, once said “The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son”. This historic bond between blood males has become the backbone of the family unit and when a shared passion unites them…
My wife and I have just come back from our first holiday aboard with our lovely toddler Izzy. She was just under two when she flew with us meaning that we only had to pay a small surcharge for her, but the consequence was that she had to share a seat with her mummy. Leading…

As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I’ve been spending my evenings this week working on Robert’s birthday card. Not a card for me to give him on his birthday – no, this is (or so I thought) FAR more important than that. This is the card we’ve sent in to the BBC…
Today I finally started work on something I should have begun several weeks ago. I also reconstructed the Cot which had been gathering dust in the garage, in preparation for Baby #2’s imminent arrival. But that was nothing compared to my most important task – one which I’ve never undertaken before, and could make or…
As a father, I freely admit that my wife is a MUCH better parent than me. I won’t go in to the many hundreds of reasons why this is true (I’ll save that for another post…!) but needless to say, she’s the one who ends up making dinner most days, spends the most time with…
As both a blogger and a social media… person, I regularly come in to contact with people hoping to form relationships with bloggers. I’ve even done it myself a few times – though I’m by no means an expert. But the concept of “blogger engagement” is a very interesting one to me, and – I…
