Toy Review: IQ Builder
When Cara was initially gifted the IQ Builder (set of 164 pieces) for her 4th birthday from grandma, she played with it for a couple of weeks before deeming it was too hard and moved on to some LOL Suprise! […]
Proud Dad Moments IV
Blink, and you’ll miss it. At the beginning of this year I blogged about Proud Dad Moment III. This week, along with all the thousands of other proud parents, it was back to school. However, with Cara now progressing from […]
One year on…
After a four-week break from blogging and picking up the sniffles from Cara this week, I realised it was a year since I started this blog. Hooray! It began with a random idea while being down with man-flu. It has […]

Dentist says “Say Ahhh”
I grew up with crooked teeth and needed braces. I had my first filling when I was about 18 years old. From my personal experience, I was adamant that Cara learnt how to brush her teeth correctly and visited the […]
Things to do: West Mersea Beach
Sunday morning arrived with forecasts for another hot day. We tossed between visiting a beach or Bluewater in order to stay cool. For some reason, Cara woke up at 6am (normally it’s 7:30am), so we opted for the longer drive to […]
