Getting the children out and about is sometimes hard as a parent. No wait, let me rephrase that. Getting them out is easy as you can...

This weekend was a first for the Ellis family – as it was the first time any of us had gone pumpkin picking. Rupert is a massive fan of...

So, the news hit recently that people will be able to meet up in groups of six in gardens or outside spaces as of tomorrow. This is huge...

This weekend was lovely. To be fair I had Monday off as well so actually, this long weekend was lovely. It was full of family time,...

Today (Tuesday) is one of my favourite days – not because of its position in the week (it’s far too close to Monday) but because it’s...

Rupert loves to walk. From the moment he’s finished his milk in the morning, we put him down and off he goes. He walks back and forth...

Today I got invited to stay and play – and I loved it. Stay and Play sessions are held across the country (run by the council) and give...

This weekend has been amazing. And I haven’t really done that much. Before Rupert, and before I was with Jess, I could go a whole day...

Big news! This week we ordered little man’s pram set! We’re so excited because we got a great price for a set that includes so much. I...

Time is such a precious commodity. It’s one of those things that when you have a lot of it you don’t need it and when you need it you...

My wife and I rarely watch something on television when it’s live, meaning we’re forever watching things on catch-up. It’s great in a way...

New Year, New Me.  That’s the old adage, isn’t it? It means so much to so many people as they feel that a new year means that they can...

So here we are, the end of Blogmas 2017, and nearly the end of the year. Throughout this year I’ve put my heart and soul into this blog....

This year has been amazing. I’m an extremely lucky man and I can probably count 2017 as the best year of my life. I know that’s often a...
