Despite being three years old now, Xander still doesn’t sleep through the night. Even worse, he has got into the bad habit of getting in our bed. With child number three due soon, something had to be done to encourage him to stay in his own room. I was happy to hear from Worlds Apart …

I’ve always stood up for good manners and we’ve always tried to instil them in Dylan and Xander. For the most part, they’re polite little lads who know when to say please and thank you and also when to be kind to others. Teaching good etiquette isn’t always easy though – especially when our efforts are undermined …
I’m a strong believer in respecting my elders and listening to what they have to say and this is just what TSB’s Golden Nuggets of Advice campaign is all about. I’ve always paid attention to financial advice from my parents – they’ve been there, seen it, done it and probably didn’t waste any money on the T-shirt. So …
Practically everything I wear comes from Next, so when they got in touch recently to see if Dylan and I would like to take part in their ‘Mini Me’ project for Father’s Day, it was an easy decision to say yes please. Soon afterwards, this huge bag arrived… Dylan is very much a miniature version …
Having worked as a magazine journalist/copywriter/social media manager/web editor sort for the last ten years – that’s my CV in a nutshell, in case you’re interested – I’m no stranger to the importance of brand identity.

Father’s Day is fast approaching and, if you’re on the lookout for a present for your dad or something on your kids’ behalf for your partner, here are my recommendations. I’ve gone for options that will suit a range of budgets and have chosen products that I was very happy to receive myself. So, without further ado, here’s my …
I’m excited and envious in equal measure about this competition that I’m co-hosting with Currys. One lucky blogger is going to win a Samsung SUHD TV worth around £1,800. Very nice too! This beast of a box boasts a curved 48-inch screen with an ultra HD picture which is four times the resolution of HD. It …
I’m truly delighted to be writing this post. A certain children’s TV programme that I’ve always had an affinity with is back. What’s more, I was lucky enough to be invited to the premiere at the weekend. I remember watching Clangers for the first time when I was a little boy and being utterly enchanted by these …
Having two little boys and an innate ability to laugh at childish things myself, I always knew that they would discover toilet humour one day. I think I could be forgiven for thinking that it would take them a little longer than it actually has to realise the downright hilarity of faecal matter and private parts, but that time …
