With the second Sunday in May just rolling past I think it would be foolish not to dedicate my blog to the nations most time poor, over worked, under paid, often under valued resource…mothers. So a big thank you and lots of love goes out to all the mothers, stepmothers, grandmas, foster mums, and mothers [...]
My wife and i have spent time in some amazing places, often trying to get away from the beaten track involving long and tricky travel and some very basic accommodation. We were keen on continuing this with children as an adventure and learning experience but then reality bites in, namely: money, time and safety. We [...]
The in-laws dropped in last week on their grey nomadic migration north for winter so I haven’t been around the house much lately. Grand dad (the emperor penguin) waddled around the back yard honking something about an edge trimmer for a while, but it was great that he got to see Reuben now he’s walking [...]
I recently watched the movie “We need to talk about Kevin.” After seeing the trailer and reading a review about it I had a fair idea of the subject matter. I knew it was going to be harrowing. I still watched it, admittedly with reservation. Word of caution – it is not a movie for [...]

It was this event and the recent fees for winter [...]
Dads being away from their children for periods of time is certainly not a new thing, being at work all day is one thing, but being in a different continent is a whole other story. My wife and daughter recently went away to visit relatives in the UK leaving dad back at home. As the time [...]

I recently heard a story about a little girl telling a little boy all about banking. “Youve never played banking? It’s easy” she said. First you give me your ball and I charge you every time you want to play with the ball. I’ll also charge you if you want to give the ball to [...]
I remember when Bijou was about 18 months old, I was chatting to a new father that I had just met (7 months old baby) and asking how he was going with it all. “its great but i have no mates – haven’t seen my friends for 7 months” he laughed with a sense of sadness in [...]
