Having got over the buying of useless baby items with Boo, I feel like I’ve known what and what not to buy (or re-use) with G. When little ones first find their feet and start cruising furniture, it really is worth investing in a walker. Not the type they can sit in, I mean the … [Read more…]
Before Christmas, Baby G was cruising furniture like you wouldn’t believe. We always buy Boo new boots for Christmas so I took the opportunity to get G some shoes. Boo didn’t walk until she was nearly 22 months and, when I took her to Clarks, they said not only could she no longer fit in … [Read more…]
Any parent of babies or young children can vouch for the fact that sleep becomes a luxury. So when I found out that Web-blinds, part of the Hilarys Blinds family, had come up with a sleep challenge to help people get more, I jumped at the chance to find out more. Around one in three adult Britons … [Read more…]
My word of the week is: SLEEP. My obsession with it or lack of it. Up to being two, Boo was a brilliant sleeper. Some days I’d have all my house work done by the time shee got up. Many times it was after 8am and, if I was really lucky 9am. Oh those days. So Boo … [Read more…]
I love taking photos. I must take 100 a week, easy. Before Boo it was Rosie the dog who was my favourite subject. Boo has taken over Rosie I’m afraid. When she was first born, Hubster warned me that our daughter was going to think her mummy’s face had a camera or a phone attached … [Read more…]
The weather this week has been beautiful here at the farm. Cold and crisp but mostly dry with lots of sunshine-does that make me sound like a weather presenter? Anyway, dry weather means only one thing down on the farm. Outdoor play. I feel like we’ve had a very productive week. Mummy painted bunting on … [Read more…]
When you’re pregnant with your first child and just after you’ve had it, you enter a period of utopia where you imagine everything to be perfect. Clean, fluffy blankets. Everything is new. You imagine a set of ideals in your head, a goalpost of sorts which you measure everything against. Some time later, these goal … [Read more…]
Since Boo was a tiny baby, I quickly understood the importance of fresh air. The days I took her out in her pram, she slept better at night. Fast forward to the toddler years and it still stands. Thankfully we live on a farm now (we didn’t when she was born) so there is fresh … [Read more…]
Being a mum means many things. You clean up sick and poo. Wipe snotty noses, comfort, hug, love. What about the things people don’t tell you about though. Here is a prime example. Now it is well documented that I am on a diet. I have to lose two stone by May (well, it’s June … [Read more…]
Ok, ok, I’m being dramatic but at this moment in time, the dummy is beginning to grate. I was determined before Boo was born that she wouldn’t have a dummy. Sleepless nights ensued and I found the hubster sat holding one of the little blighters in Boo’s mouth one day and that, my friends, is … [Read more…]
