Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
It’s been a bit of a while since I’ve been able to review a new Lego set, but I was recently contacted about the latest additions to the Lego Harry Potter range – and naturally, I jumped at the chance. The set I was given to review is named ‘The Rise of Voldemort’, and as…
Despite having been to Legoland Windsor at least a dozen times, I’ve never written about it on the blog before – apart from a short review of a trip we made their at Christmas one year. This hasn’t been intentional – we love visiting Legoland, hence so many return trips! So with our next trip…
Children and adults alike love playing with LEGOs. But there’s more about it than just fitting colourful bricks and snazzy designs together. Our friends over at BrickPals describe 9 important skills your children can learn from playing with LEGOs. Who doesn’t love LEGO? They’re colourful, varied, and just plain awesome.

When it comes to blogging, I’ve always told myself that I need to maintain an even mix of reviews and other less-commercial content. Partly because I didn’t start blogging to review products – I started because I wanted to share some of the joys (and challenges) of parenting with my fellow parents. But also in…
As most of you will have gathered by now, our family are quite big fans of Lego. Whether it’s Ninjago, Superhero, Star Wars or Creator (and many more in between) we love them all – and I love reviewing the sets too. But the crafty people at Debenhams had a different challenge in mind –…
When I first heard that this Lego set was being released, I got way more excited than you’d probably imagine a grown-up man getting. Not because I’m a huge “Detroit Steel” fan, but because of the other Marvel Hero introduced in this set. The character in question is possibly the most pivotal in the entire…
Having bought the kids the complete set of Super Hero “Mighty Micros” sets last year for their birthdays, we have been eagerly awaiting the release of more from the series. Thankfully, we weren’t disappointed – this year sees the release of a whole new set! Just like the first series, this line comprises of 3…
