Our life with our toddler
It may only be mid-September but mark my words, Christmas is coming. There are so many magical things around for children and, as Boo will be nearly four, I am hoping this year, my own little Christmas elf will understand a bit more. So recently we tried out a letter from Father Christmas from My Letter from Santa Claus….
All I’ve heard all week is when is the right time to have another child or, have you got two under two? All in response to the lovely news that Kate and William have announced their second pregnancy. As the week has gone on, it’s got me more and more annoyed. My mum always told…
“A bear remains a bear – even when most of him has fallen off or worn away.” – Charlotte Gray This quote is especially true of my loved, old, bear. Teddy bears are magical creatures who provide as much love as they are loved in return. When the lovely people at What the Blazers…
I really, really, really want a new pram for this baby. The pram with its first resident Thinking about are old pram, it just seemed old-fashioned now.

There’s nothing better than picking your own fruit and vegetables for teaching children where food comes from. I realised this week that is about a year since we went blackberry picking.

Should seven year old children be taught sex education? This would mean Boo, would be learning this so-called ‘age appropriate sex education.’ in another three and half years. I am totally against it. In a statement, David Laws, the education minister, has said that academies and free schools should have to teach sex and relationship…
When you think of pregnancy cravings, you think of weird things like gerkins or coal. When I was pregnant with Boo, I couldn’t get enough of anything containing raisins or dried fruit. Scones, toasted tea cakes, anything like that. Since the early days of this pregnancy however, it’s been really different. All I’ve fancied is…
I am very excited. This autumn, the Baby and Toddler Show is back at Event City at the Trafford Centre from 26th to 28thSeptember and another at Bluewater from 10th to 12th of October. Why am I so excited I hear you ask? Well, I am a self-confirmed ‘baby-stuff-aholic’ and, after my last visit…
