Over the past couple of months, I have quietly invested quite a bit of time (not to mention a tiny bit of money) sprucing up my YouTube channel. I’ve not just some better quality equipment, but added a broader variety of content.
Before I get too engrossed in telling you about my vlogs, please allow me to introduce you to my 90 second welcome video.
Among the content I’ve created, you will find a playlist for product reviews. Reviews presently on the site include everything from strollers and clothes to men’s grooming items. You can take a look at the playlist by following this link.
My most recent review was of the Joie ‘Every Stage’ car seat. Here’s what I thought of it.
For anyone interested in home improvement, you’ll find a playlist charting the progress as our new kitchen was installed throughout February and March. At the moment there are seven of these videos and a couple more will be added as we finish the project. You’ll find the home improvement playlist here. I’m particularly proud of the exploding kitchen cabinet in the video below!
One of the most popular videos I’ve produced focuses on social isolation and how it affects stay at home dads. I’ve had some great feedback about it and I’ve love to know what you think.
I think the latest video is also going to be a big hit. It’s of the ‘Finnish maternity package’. This is a box of baby items offered to every family in Finland on the arrival of a new child. It features clothes, muslins, nipple cream, nipple pads, bibs and the box itself doubles up as a bed. It is, frankly, awesome.
My aim is to vlog at least once a week going forward. I’d love it if you subscribed to my YouTube channel. Please do also watch a few videos and leave a few comments. If you have a YouTube channel yourself, let me know. I’m looking to subscribe to more channels so don’t be shy of telling me where I can find you.

Good stuff, John. I always struggle to find the time to watch many vlogs – only so many hours in the day! – but I will take a little look when I have a moment. 2019 okay? 😉
Yes Tim, there are only so many hours. I will totally understand if its 2019 before yuo watch any of my videos. Just so long as you do watch them!
I’ve watched loads of your vids but never actually subscribed, whoops! I have now though 🙂 I’m just starting out on YouTube too but got so much work to do on it #TheList
Well done John I shall be looking out for your vlogs #thelist
Glad to hear it Nige. If you stat vlogging, tell em where I can subscribe to your channel.
Awesome work buddy – the Finnish maternity especially…great idea! #thelist
Glad you liked it. The Finnish Maternity Package video has been very popular as I predicted.
I’ve subscribed! I love your welcome video, you’ve inspired me to create one too at some point 🙂 Look how fancy your new vlogging equipment is! I have, um, an iPhone boo 🙁 #TheList
Hurrah! Another subscriber. Thanks for signing up. I have reciprocated. Good idea to get a welcome video sorted out.
Brilliant John! love your channel trailer and think it’s fab that you’re going to commit to vlogging more. This was supposed to be the year of vlogging for me but I do find it a bit of a faff at the moment, still enjoying running the Vlog Stars linky though-new one live next week with 20 questions tag if you fancy it? Let me know if you want me to pop you the questions over.
Glad you like the trailer Amy. There’s no question, vlogging is a bit of a commitment. I’ll get in touch directly re vlog stars.
Fab John, well done for embracing YT, nothing faster growing or more influential than video!
Thanks Vicki. I’m a little bit hooked as it happens.
Ooh lovely – I am not brave enough to go onto vlogging I hate the way I sound on video. Oh but the girls are adorable, I love the way Helen says your blog name too cute!!! Good luck!
Thanks Laura, I’m having such great fun with vlogging at the moment.
