Our life with our toddler
I think you all know about my painting-at-home-phobia by now. So when we were invited to the Minikin Emporium in Sale by Frank PR on behalf of Growing Up Milk, I jumped at the chance. Boo gets to paint and I don’t have to clear up the mess-winner. So we arrived with…. …a chick in…
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. Alarm goes off. Leap drag myself out of bed. I’ve been up 16 times in the night. Putting Boo’s dummy back in. It’s not fallen out of bed. It’s resting on her chin. Tick tock. Frolic drag my feet downstairs. Let dog out. Put kettle on. Make juice. Take juice and coffee upstairs. Put…
My word of the week is… Unfortunately, still not of the human variety but don’t think that has taken the shine of this amazing week here. Earlier in the week, I added a post about a little chick being born. I was beyond excited. Nothing could better that, surely? Well something did. Hubster sent me…
I started #100happydays back in January and, a week in, I wrote a blog post because I was struggling with what made me happy. Back then, some lovely people commented on the post and they really made me think differently about the challenge. #100happydays was not about big gestures. For me, it was about the little things…
So this week we visited our local garden centre to have lunch for my mum’s birthday. Boo and I were early so we headed to the outdoor play area. There were climbing frames galore and lots of ride-on toys to choose from. Ever the farmer’s daughter though, Boo went straight for the tractor. She loves…
When my eldest was about two months old, we were at the checkout in our local Sainsbury’s waiting to pay. I was bagging up shopping. That week, I had read a story in the newspaper about a super market worker finding a scorpion in a box of bananas. As I but some bananas in my trolley, I…
So this week, Boo has started going to nursery each morning. She was three in January so, after the Easter term, she got her free Early Years Entitlement. I have mixed emotions about it really. On one hand, she needs to go. She needs to interact with other children, learn routine and to listen. On…
So we’ve nearly completed two days of the Organix No Junk Challenge. It has gone okay. I say okay because it could have been better. Day one, Boo had a wheat biscuit for breakfast. I have written about this before because despite all brands of wheat biscuits not tasting in the least bit sweet, they…
I’ve written before about my love of books and how I want to pass this trait on to Boo. We joined our local library about a year ago. Even I was impressed. The people who work there are amazing. They love books too and, when they got to know me and what I liked reading,…
So last night, I signed up to the Organix #NoJunk challenge. It is Friday. It starts on Monday and I am yet to do my food shop. Rather than run blindly into the supermarket abyss, I decided I needed to think about this and plan, plan, plan. So… I went to my local library and…
