I think we're both slightly in a state of disbelief. We're somehow celebrating the fact that our baby has just had her first birthday! Having a One Year Old Of course, a first birthday was inevitably going to happen. But it still feels really weird that Isabelle is somehow now a one year old. Reflecting [...]
This has been a massive week for me on a personal level. If you've read this blog before you might have heard me say that I hated Isabelle when she was born. There are so many places that have that headline. I'm obviously not going to list them all. But for a long time I [...]
I know I'm not the only one who's guilty of this. But it's something that I've thought about on and off for some time now. And all I'm going to do with this post is simply put a message out there to all the dad's, and family members out there, and say something very simple: [...]
I said a few months back that I was looking for a charity challenge for 2018. Well, I've chosen one. And it's the South Coast Challenge! Before I start, I will say that I occasionally like doing something silly for the mere fun of it. I once walked 100,000 steps for no reason other than [...]
When I started this blog, I didn't really think about my daughter's digital footprint. Maybe it was because I didn't expect that I would actually keep blogging.

If you want to watch the video before reading this post then you can do so now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLY4vluDyO8 What Irritated Me About This The thing that immediately irritated me slightly about this was that [...]
I sometimes dress our baby in pink. And she's a girl. According to some far left liberals, I'm promoting gender stereotypes and I'm probably a bad dad for dressing a girl in pink. Some minister via the Independent even went as far to say "dressing your daughter in pink and buying her ‘girly’ toys damages [...]
We're fast approaching Isabelle's first birthday. And since it's actually Sibling Day, which is another random day that people like to have, I thought it would be a good time to flesh out my thoughts on possibly creating a second child. When's the Right Time? I've talked to a lot of people about babies since [...]
When it comes to white noise sleep aids, there are two main products that first come to mind. MyHummy and Ewan the Dream Sheep. The next question is which one should you buy? I'm going to break this into a few different categories and then pick which one is the winner. At the end of [...]
