  • An Easter Miracle

    An Easter Miracle

    I have never been a religious man. That is not to say I do not believe in some greater power, I just have no idea what it is. Today though, we have seen a miracle on Good Friday right inside our own home.

    15 things I wish I knew before becoming a Dad

    Those that have read my earlier posts will realise that I began my career as Dad being a clueless intern. I’m now a little better and though I am not expecting any Father of the year awards quite yet, I’m certainly not the worst.

    How to make your own Easter basket

    We woke up feeling a little bit crafty this morning and not in a sneaky way! Of course, Easter is just around the corner so we decided to make Robbie his own little Easter basket for the big day.

    How much screen time is bad for toddlers?

    I’m sure I’m not the only one spending a little more time at home these days. Since being banned from the world outside I have seen so many articles, advice and accounts of homeschooling activities.

    It’s been too long

    I was looking back at my recent posts last night and realised something was missing. Something far too big to be leaving out of posts and the whole reason this little blog exists. Something’s name is Robbie, my very reason for starting a parenting blog.

    Social media, let’s be kind

    Social media gives us great power, how we chose to use this power can make a difference to the lives of those we may never even meet.

    What A Week!

    In case you haven’t noticed by now, the world has gone a little bit crazy. Widespread panic and sky high stacks of toilet rolls have become the norm but somehow, I seem to have avoided most of it.

    Breastfeeding VS  Fed is best- A Dad’s view

    The diary of Dad, Part 6

    The diary of Dad, part 5

    New born babies are strange little things. For all the constant attention they crave and the panic and chaos they create, they do not actually do very much at all.
