Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
When I first started posting about camping here on the blog, a couple of friends commented to me that they’d love to try camping – but couldn’t because of their small children. An opinion I was familiar with, as I’d once thought the same thing. We took our boys camping for the first time when…
I’d usually start a review like this by pointing out that I’m “not much of a gamer”, or some other excuse to hide my lack of proficiency in matters of gaming. But thankfully, the game I’ve been asked to review this time is VERY different to your average console title – and i’m happy to…
I’ve always considered myself to be a bit of a movie fan – anybody who has seen our over-sized Blu-ray shelf can probably testify that I like to enjoy a good film (and several bad ones too) more than once. I like all types of films – from sci-fi to drama and everything in between….
I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say that I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had a lie-in over the past 10 years. I’m not talking about staying in bed ten minutes after the alarm has gone off. I mean a proper, sleep later-than-usual and wake up feeling…
I don’t often get asked to review clothing here on the blog, and when I do it’s rarely clothing that I’d actually choose myself. So when the folks at Saltrock asked if We wanted to test out some of their children’s range, I decided I should put away my presumptions and give them a shot….
Today I had the privilege of being invited to take part in a really interesting event at the offices of the Huffington Post in London. Myself and a selection of other, much more prolific parenting bloggers (and a few others to boot) were asked to take part in a debate with TV Chef and all-round…
Sometimes when we discover cool new things, our first instinct can be to keep them to ourselves. We’ve all done it – “I liked them before they became big”. Whether it’s because we want them a secret so “fame” doesn’t change them, or because we want to feel like an OG fan, the temptation is…
As most of you will know by now, I very rarely turn down the opportunity to review a new toy – it’s basically one of the main reasons I started blogging in the first place, let’s be honest. So when the nice people at Hornby asked if we’d like to give their new ‘My First…
To celebrate the end of what is probably a momentous year for them, the clever (and very kind) people behind the world-famous ‘Lost My Name‘ books (reviewed on this very blog before they hit the big time!) have created quite an amazing review of 2016. Rather than go down the traditional (and frankly, fairly boring)…
With the spooky season now bearing down upon us like the ghost in a haunted house ride, thoughts invariably turn to costumes. Whether you’re throwing a Halloween party, taking the kids out trick-or-treating or just want to celebrate the season, it’s a great excuse to get the little ones dressed up in super-cute outfits. If…
