One of the biggest challenges modern parents face is making sure their children get enough outdoor exercise. Due to the increased availability of screen time, it can be easy to allow things to slide – no playground equipment pun intended! I believe in encouraging good habits early on, but know that I need to do more. Theory …
I’m just about getting my breath back from the weekend at BML16 so now it’s time to look back. Here are my thoughts on how the conference went, interspersed with the three completely random pictures I took… Just added my #clangersforkindness wish at #BML16 Really hope it comes true!

Since Dylan and Xander discovered football, I’ve been looking forward to much. As well as kickabouts and watching it, there are plenty of games to enjoy together. Being ‘Captain Clumsy’ and ‘Captain Carnage’ respectively, they’re not ready for my childhood favourite yet but here’s a great alternative. Total Action Football is a five-a-side game that’s quick …
With England safely through the group stage of Euro 2016, Dylan and Xander are taking more of an interest. At only seven months of age, Amelie hasn’t got a clue what we’re so excited about, but I very much hope that she’ll grow to love football as much as we do. A recent survey by leading energy …

Wearable technology has been one of the big developments in recent years. Here’s a great use of it that I wish I’d thought of! Summer Infant’s Babble Band is the world’s first wearable audio monitor. We’ve been using it for the last few weeks ahead of its UK launch. First impressions can count for a …
As you may have seen in the news, the new wing of the Tate Modern opened this week. I’m only slightly exaggerating when I say that, between them, Dylan and Xander have produced enough artwork to fill it. We are being subjected to an art attack! While I’m obviously happy that they’re exploring their creative …
With Euro 2016 now in full swing, Dylan and Xander are taking more of an interest in football. Being Spurs fans like me, their hero is Harry Kane, so we were all excited at the prospect of reviewing the new Skills Ball and Volley Blaster he has put his name to. The Harry Kane Skills …
I’m proud to announce that I’ve joined the Netflix Stream Team.
