Throw back Thursday - How George found his voice
In 2020, while the world slowed down and uncertainty filled the air, something unexpected was happening behind closed doors. Industries were adapting, creativity was finding new paths, and for our eldest boy, George, a brand new journey was just beginning. At just 8 years old, during the height of the COVID-19 lockdowns, George stepped into the world of voice-over work—an industry traditionally dominated by adults and reliant on professional studio spaces. But as restrictions

William's Wild World book gets a promo video
I’ve always believed that the most powerful children’s ideas are the ones that start from something real. That’s exactly how William’s Wild World: Secrets of the Seashore began. What started as William’s genuine love of rockpooling, coastal wildlife and seaside exploration became a book. Now, as we continue developing the concept visually, it’s becoming increasingly clear that it has the makings of something much bigger. At its heart, it’s a warm, gentle, visually rich childr

Bouldering at bloc Climbing: How a Manga Sparked George's New Obsession
Finding a new activity that genuinely excites your child isn’t always easy. For us, bouldering wasn’t something we planned — it started with a book. After reading the manga The Climber , George became fascinated by climbing. Not just the physical challenge, but the mindset behind it: focus, resilience, and working through difficult problems alone. That curiosity led us to bouldering at Bloc Climbing , and after four visits, it’s safe to say it’s become a firm favourite. What

The Traitors: Live Experience. Betrayal, bubbly, and a very familiar Round Table
A Christmas present, a London weekend, and one question hanging in the air, who can you actually trust? So I bought Brett tickets to The Traitors Live Experience for Christmas, and we turned it into a full weekend in London with friends, the perfect excuse for a bit of escapism, a few laughs, and (as it turns out) a surprising amount of suspicion. Tickets were ÂŁ49.50 each, which feels about right for something this in-demand, and right in the thick of central London. The venu

Ice Adventures for All Ages at Planet Ice Bristol
As a child, I remember going Ice-skating and loving the whole experience. The cool air against my face as I sped around the rink, laughing with friends, holding hands with the boy I liked by convincing him I couldn't skate well and needed the help. And so, when the boys were young I wanted them to feel confident on the Ice and experience the same excitement I did (and still do if I'm honest) when Ice-skating. With the Ice Rink in Frogmore Street, Bristol closing in 2012, we
