Our life with our toddler
Being a mum automatically makes you thirsty because you never have time to drink. Night feeds however make you even more thirsty than usual and it can become some kind of vicious circle. You drink, you need the loo. You get the raging thirst, you drink, you need the loo. If you’ve never experienced night…
It’s been a funny old month for the siblings. It started off with Easter which was lovely. The older two had a great time with Boo being off school. We planned an Easter egg hunt but the weather on Easter Sunday was very wet so we opted for an indoor hunt instead. I was a…
Love them or loathe them, if you’ve got kids, the chances are, you have experienced a playdate. They really are a mine field of etiquette. Rules aside however, when you couple excited children and loads of sugar, emotions can run high-yours and theirs. Thankfully, the lovely people at Organix have come up with a few…
When I was pregnant with my first child in 2011, I naively thought that you have a baby, learn how to care for it and that’s it. Six years on and three babies later, I now realise parenting is a continuous journey of discovery and change. That little baby grows into a boisterous toddler and…
I am currently seven weeks in to parenting three. I forgot so much about babies in the two year gap between G and Baby J.

I am a little late with my first month update for Baby J but I have had a good excuse. I have been drinking in every last drop of these newborn days. Being a parent third time around and knowing how quickly time goes, I am not missing a thing this time. The month started…
With my first two pregnancies, I quite fancied twins but, as I lay on the bed waiting for the scan with number three, my heart was in my mouth. Thankfully there was only one baby in there so, while I breathed a sigh of relief, when Zapf Creation asked if Baby Annabell’s brother could come…
Anything vehicle is always a hit with my little farmer. We have been chosen to be BigJigs Play Patrol bloggers this year and I am not going to lie. We had our eye on the Bigjigs farm play set. Imagine our delight when it was that which arrived in the post. From experience, I waited…
Baby J is now a month old and, before baby brain takes over my head forever, I thought now might be the right time to share my birth story. We last left off with my 37 week pregnancy update. Like I said previously, my local hospital now gives any mother who is due to give…
