Here’s where I list all of the nice things that people have said about my blog, as well as any awards that it has won or been nominated for. Every now and then I look at this page to boost my ego.
Thank you to everyone who’s voiced kind words. The saying goes ‘names will never hurt me’, but the fact is Gareth Jones called me ‘spotty’ in high school and I still cry about it now.

The Good Men Project
“I have to say I found Ben’s book hysterical! I found it funny, shocking, practical and digestible…”
“Funny, irreverent and informative, ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ is less a manual for men, and more a belly-laugh for blokes.”
“Newborn dad tells it like it is. Laugh until you cry.”
Babes About Town: Hot Daddy Blogs – Father’s Day Special
“ABSOLUTELY hilarious – couldn’t stop laughing, saying to my other half “Is that me?” and he’s like “Ohhhhh yeah that sounds like you alright!”… love love love it…a talent like that should be heard loudly well done.”
“…if he doesn’t get his publisher I think I will cry…”
Bounty Forum: “Ben who writes the funny stuff for men…”
“LMAO this is hilarious, had to stop reading it due to laughing till I cried and cramped, LOL! Have saved the link to go back to and so OH can have a read when I’m done! LOL TY – needed this…”
“If you have a sense of humour ladies this is fantastic, I’ve only read up until 14 weeks so far but have saved the guys web page in my favourites to read more later on. It’s nice to see what the men in our lives are really thinking/feeling while we are moaning at each other about how insensitive they are. It’s just a case of Venus and Mars ladies…”
Bounty Forum: “If you have time, read this…”
“I think the process and methods Ben is using are a great idea for promoting his book. It also helps that Ben is very funny and the excerpts bring me back to when I was on that same journey…I was really impressed with Ben’s knowledge about this whole pregnancy thing. Like I mentioned earlier, it’s a really funny read but the guy knows his stuff as well and I could tell really early that this would be a great book for new dads.”

“I peed myself a little reading this, then again, being nearly 30 weeks pregnant that’s a pretty easy feat. But you’re still hilarious.”
“As usual your post has left me running to the loo (bladder control not great now I’m pregnant again!) and hubby tittering away like a girl.”
“Love your blog, and always like coming back for more to see how your wife is doing and laugh with the male perspective.”
“You really make me laugh and I LOVE your writing style! Its so honest and true. I’m going to make my husband read everything…I think he will be able to relate.”
