Don't get me wrong - I'm on Royal Baby Watch as much as the next person. But of all the things that the Duchess of Cambridge will have to endure, I think this, for now of course, is probably the worst. I remember being pregnant with my first little one, and I was a bag of anxious nerves. I wanted my little one to arrive safe and healthy, but I was also so fearful of the unknown. I...

As a guitarist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There...

Fruit Shoot have a great compeititon on their site at the moment giving kids the chance to appear in an ad on Nickelodeon. All you have to do is video your little ones active skill and upload it to the Show Us Your Skills section on their website. They then choose their top ten favourite skills videos uploaded each month, and the one that gets the most votes will be shown on Nickelodeon TV. We had...

The 3 second rule does not exist in my house, if it falls on the floor, it's in the bin, if it's a non food item, it gets scalded, end of. In my friend's house it doesn't matter if it falls on the floor and there is no time limit on it either. Whether it's a food item or not, the approach is based very much based around the 'it's still good' theory. And it makes me...

We’re quite similar me and Jessica Alba ... we both have two kiddies (one of them under a year), we both have a career outside the home, we have both been with our other halves for almost 10 years, and we’ve both won sexiest woman alive as voted by some bloke mag. OK so the last bit isn’t true (not even on my best hair day) but the rest is. We're practically related we're so alike...

... this is my life

I saw this ad yesterday evening, it has been released by an ad agency in South Korea for Oreo. The tagline at the bottome reads: 'Milk's favourite cookie' and I have to say I'm stuck for words. However, I do have a question though ...who's boobs looked like that while breastfeeding? I'm not sure where I stand on this ad. I just don't think it's necessary. Whether or...

Wow it really is quite the rock. But I don't see how it took Brad and his expert jeweller, Robert Procop 12 months to get this done .... although at an estimated price of €250,000 perhaps he had to be seen to be earning it.

I make no secret of the fact that we at Madden Mansions got off quite lightly during the snow and ice last winter. Friends and family made it home for Christmas, we didn't slip and break anything, we only missed one day of work and crèche due to weather (and that was while staying with Mrs. M's parents) and were only snow-bound at home once. Even then, it was a really nice day – we had...

Barbie celebrated her 50 th anniversary in 2009, so you might think she would be slowing down or at least toning it down, but apparently not. The latest release is a limited edition Barbie by Italian brand Tokidoki, which sees the much-loved doll with a more contemporary style. This iteration of Barbie shows her with a fabulously styled pink hair do along with tattooed arm, neck and chest, a...
