Parenting

One of the things that I’ve noticed with my daughter is that she gets bored of her toys extremely quickly! And by that, I don’t mean the typical “playing for 3 days and then losing interest”; she will play with a new toy for about an hour or so and then often, never touch it...

Ever since my daughter got her Autism diagnosis, my wife and I have been looking into different resources and advice for Autism Parents. There’s a lot of information out there, as it happens, which we didn’t really expect. However, this just makes it more difficult. To use an outdated phrase; you can’t see the forest...

For anyone who has read this blog for a while now, you’ll know that every now and then I write an article that’s more about getting something off my chest, rather than looking at retro games. This is one such post. My wife and I are still getting used to being “autism parents”. It’s something...

We’re going to have a slightly different post this time, but as this blog is a great way for me to let my thoughts out, I’m going to do just that! As you may know, my family have been on holiday for the last couple of weeks, visiting my wife’s parents and sister. In order...

The taste of coffee uplifts the mind and body. The taste immerses senses into a world full of possibilities. We embark on a journey with each sip, each cup of our favourite coffee. Is there scope to improve or indulge at a deeper level the way we brew our morning or evening coffee? The evolution...

Brushing and flossing in toddlers is as important as it is for adults. Most parents assume that the teeth are temporary and hence as such no specific dental care or routine may be needed. If you are also in such a category, you are mistaken. Neglecting dental hygiene can cause long term problems in kids...

When was the last time you treated yourself? We mean really treated yourself. Of course, Mums have a lot on their plate, especially if acting in a stay-at-home capacity. We would be lesser without them. But of course, sometimes, the Dad needs to be celebrated too. For that, it can be important to give yourself...

Of all the unexpected surprises that adulthood brings, one is the way that time seems to evaporate. When you have work, family commitments and little people to look after, it can be really hard to make time for the things you love. And whether it’s squeezing in a strength training session, catching up with friends...
