Blogging, Family and Friends
Read moreI’m sure lots of us have experienced this at one time or another. I certainly have. When you possibly mention to family and friends that you have a blog, I always laugh at the confused look that I am confronted with and then you get one or a few standard replies. They may say yes…

Stats and Charts. Really what is the Point?
Read moreI recently read a post by Tim Liew about his decision to leave the Tots 100 index. I would like to say I’m surprised, but I’m not because he is another of the more recognised bloggers to leave this index. All this got me thinking about stats and charts and top 10 lists. First of…

When is a Blog no longer a Blog
Read moreThis is a question I have asked myself many times in the last six months.

Blogging Breaks
Read moreA few weeks ago I had a very laid back approach to blogging. I needed a rest from writing, posting and scheduling new posts. It can be an all consuming hobby at times. I needed some family time. At the beginning of the year I had a target in my mind to post 365 times.…

How I lost my way blogging
Read moreA few weeks ago I was named as number 10 top dad blogger in the UK. What happened in the space of a few days surprised, shocked and quite honestly frightened me.

Let's just be parents
Read moreFor some time now I have been reading lots of posts about stay at home dads or stay at home mums and gender stereotyping. If I’m honest I have a written a bit about this myself. I was thinking about how as a society we tend to label ourselves, but sometimes the labels we give…

My blog achievements so far
Read moreI started my blog just 15 months ago and when I started it, I’m not sure I had any goals or targets that I wanted to achieve. In the early days I just wanted to write good content. It was important to write about my life and I wanted this corner of the Internet for…

Blog awards or popularity contest
Read moreThis potentially could alienate me, but I have to say something because it’s very irritating to me. So let’s risk it! Blog awards. What are they really? Is it just a selection of bloggers patting each other on the back? Personally, I think so! Blogs in the current Mads and Bibs are a popularity contest…

Do I love blogging or am I addicted
Read moreI will just start out this post by saying that I love blogging 99% of the time.

Are men finally starting to show their emotions
Read moreIs blogging the start of men showing a more emotional side of their character or has it been changing slowly over the years? Has it become more acceptable for men to show emotion and cry at special moments in their lives or a sad film? I don’t blog anonymously, but I have been able to…
