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...

So apparently, today is Blue Monday. No, it doesn’t mean playing your favourite boyband songs and reminiscing over which one you had a...

I hate it when Rupert is poorly. He’s had plenty of colds, what we think are sore throats and a cough that won’t seem to bugger off, as...

Being a Dad is tough. I don’t want to come across like I have things hard or that I don’t have any support because that’s far from true....

This blog is special to me, as this marks my 100th since I started it way back in 2016. Back then it was Ellis in Wonderland and I was...

Well, the news is out, and yes the rumours are true. Rupert will soon be a big brother, as Jess and I are having another baby. We found...

Rupert has now taken his latest, and so far scariest, step towards being a big boy. Yesterday, he had his first taster session at...

I am what’s known as a sun worshipper. I am THAT guy who moves his sunbed round on holiday so that it’s always facing the sun straight...

This month, J and I have worked out something rather weird – our son has been in our arms as long as he was cooking in Jess’ tummy. I...

Social media when you have children is both the best and the worst thing. It’s the best because we can share little milestones that Ru is...

So recently J and I have been decorating the nursery and this weekend we made some amazing progress in little man’s room. However, before...

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...

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...

Sitting at home right now I can’t help but feel lucky. I have a home, a car and a large and loving family as well as a beautiful wife....
