Our life with our toddler
It may be the first Siblings post of the new year but, in the last month, there has only been one word on the tip of all of the children’s tongues and that is Christmas. They’ve had a ball. School finished and a few days of baking, winter walks and excitement commenced before the big … [Read more…]
Christmas is hurtling towards us and we have been making the most of the festive season with Christmas fairs, nativity plays and general merriment. I love doing the siblings posts as it forces me to look through the photos from the last month and choose the best ones. It also makes me marvel then in … [Read more…]
With half term almost over, it is time to think about going back to school and, ever since the first dreaded head lice email we had when my daughter started school, I have been searching for hairstyles to keep hair in one place but still look nice. For all of these factors, you cannot go … [Read more…]

Thankfully, I saved most of the expensive items … [Read more…]
I find my first child has been my trial run for everything. We gave her a dummy. Her younger brothers did not have a dummy-that kind of thing. Nothing can prepare you for the mine field that is the school gates though so, I like to think I have learnt something from her and will … [Read more…]
So unless you have been living under a stone, back to school season is well and truly upon us. My eldest boy (middle child) is starting primary school in September and I think one of the biggest landmarks in a child’s life is getting those first school shoes. With three children, I must have spent … [Read more…]
Since the last siblings post, my eldest has finished year three and the middle one had his last day at nursery. We have had action packed days interspersed with fun days at home, picnicking, running around the farm and playing with annoying the animals. The first Saturday of the school holidays we headed off … [Read more…]
If you have little ones, you know that keeping them active can be difficult at times. This was shown recently when the number of overweight children had risen by a fifth. However, on the flip side to this, you may have a child with too much energy that needs to be focused somewhere. The obvious … [Read more…]
