What we can’t do without in our bathrooms
The gadget that we’ve sworn by for the last 4 years… floor-level sensor lights that switch on automatically as soon as you enter the bathroom. I can’t imagine having to switch on the full-on lights to pop to the toilet in the middle of the night. We’ve used these Mr Beams ones for what seems…

More baby hacks (from dad’s perspective)
While it’s still in my mind, some other winning things that helped in the first 2 years of baby: A play-pen – definitely good to keep the little one enclosed as she started to roll, and crawl everywhere.

People of the UK have voted for their own Trump…
I am truly astounded that the UK public actually voted for their own version of Donald Trump. Boris Johnson is basically the same concept: and he successfully managed to convince the working-class that he is going to help them in some way. Mainly through lies.
