Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration with Matific Galaxy. I can’t quite believe that, come September, youngest will be entering her last year at nursery. Although this means there’s still a whole school year to go before she starts at primary, I think it’s never too early to get children enthused about key subjects. She’s …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration with Neos SmartCam. If you’re anything like me, you worry about your home while you’re out. More specifically, I worry about the damage that my nemesis – our cat – can do to ours. She loves knocking things over, sleeping where she shouldn’t and scratching furniture when we’re not …
If there’s one thing that really bothers me about cold mornings, it’s condensation. That might sound a bit precious but, as I have asthma, I really notice the change in air quality at this time of year! Too much moisture in the air can lead to other nasties such as mould and nobody wants to …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration with Tonies. As I mentioned recently, we’ve been getting rid of things that fall into the ‘baby stuff’ category. Youngest is almost three years old now, so we’ve been pushing the idea of her being a ‘big girl’. One of the last remaining things on the hit list was …
If you’re anything like me, this is a giveaway that you do not want to miss out on! I’m a big fan of STEM-based toys and the difference they can make to children. To celebrate the launch of their imminent Kickstarter, the people at Pigzbe have ten frankly amazing prize bundles to give away. More …

They needed to up their game and, thanks to Playbrush, that’s exactly what they’ve done! Most …
One frustration many of us have with smartphones is their rather limited battery life. Indeed, 45% of smartphone users in a recent YouGov survey said that longer battery life was their most-wanted feature. For the record, the next two items on the collective wishlist were shatterproof screens (21%) and water resistance (16%). These findings set the …
We love technology in our house and it’s amazing how much the kids already know. At just two years of age, Amelie is the youngest member of the family but is already making great strides. Naturally, due to being a few years younger than her brothers, she’s not where they are yet, but age is …
Yes, that is probably one of the geekiest blog post titles I’ve ever published, but I well and truly stand by it! I love technology and am always keen to try out new devices and gadgets as soon as possible. As a result, smart home devices are beginning to take over our house. We now have three …
Parenting is something that brings numerous new challenges and these start before kids are even on the scene. Choosing a name, for example, can be tricky. Take us. It wasn’t until we knew the gender of our third child that we were sure of a name. Kate and I had long since agreed on options …
