Monsters vs Aliens vs My 3-Year Old Son
I’m a big film geek, I have been for many years. It probably all began when my mum took me to go see House of Wax in 3D, starring Vincent Price. No, I’m not “that” old, it was a re-release.
I decided last weekend to take my son to go see a movie, Monsters [...]
Swaddle Blanket Conspiracy?
Last night I came across my daughter’s swaddle blanket as I was cleaning up. It brought back some great memories, especially because my friend Brad and his wife are expecting their first born any minute.
I remembered that my son’s blanket was identical, and it got me thinking. I was inspired enough to put a video [...]
YouTube Safe For Kids
I just came across a post from LifeHacker a couple of days ago on a YouTube player for children called Kideo.
I always cringe when I play a video to my 2 and 3 year olds. You never know when something terrible might appear in a video. I’m really impressed with the ones I’ve seen appear [...]
Take A Break
I’ve heard recently about a couple I know who are having some difficulties, the main cause is that they never take breaks away from their kids.
I am the world’s number one fan of my little ones, they seriously rock. They are also 2 and 3 (11.5 months apart), so they can be a touch exhausting. [...]

Back Up Your Photos Now
When I was a kid our family photos were all kept in albums. The hundreds of photos were meticulously positioned under the plastic static film on each page by my mum. She was great about writing the dates and locations of the photos on the backs.
Today we’re lucky enough to have plenty of storage in [...]
Your iPhone Can Save Your Child’s Life
I’m always searching for new apps for my iPhone, I was thrilled when I recently found a free version of PacMan. As I searched through the iTunes Music Store free apps section, I came across an amazing app that’s so much more useful than killing ghosts.
Phone Aid serves as a quick guide and support system [...]
A Quick Tip for Expecting Daddies
When your baby is born you will likely be housebound for a while. That means that you’ll be home to help your wife and tend to your wee one. This is awesome, sure you’ll be pretty sleep deprived, but it’s still awesome. There’s nothing better than gently hugging on your son or daughter, and on [...]
Children’s Television Doesn’t Have To Suck
I can safely say that it’s not easy being forced to watch children’s programming. Many of the programs are too slow and repetitive, like the ones that have long pauses to wait for your kids to do as their told. Or the shows feature grown ups who dance around like they’re all hopped up on, [...]
