Our life with our toddler
I toyed with calling this post ‘how to participate in Halloween when you have no neighbours’ because really, that is the reason for this activity. I don’t agree with trick or treating anyway so I decided this year to turn it on its head. If you can have an Easter egg hunt, why not a…
Playing pretend games allow children to explore a whole new world using just their imagination, often leading to them coming up with hilarious characters and stories. It may seem like just silly fun and games, but did you know that playing pretend is actually one of the most important parts of a child’s development? Not…
I seem to have lost track of time this month with my Siblings posts. I only realised it was time when I saw other bloggers had published. Time flies when you’re having fun, eh? Usually I try to have at least one posed shot but I worried as I looked back on my phone. Thankfully,…
I have tried to make cakes for my children’s birthdays since they were born. My most epic one was a princess castle when my eldest was two. She also had a Hello Kitty cake which looked more like a Moomin than a cat but, as she was only one, she didn’t even notice. Oh the…
This month’s siblings sees the end of the 2018 summer holidays, a revamped bedroom and a new puppy. We spend the last month going on quite a few days out. Only locally to play farms and parks but the children did enjoy themselves. The boys love anything ride-on so that is always a winner and…

As a mum of three, my weaning journeys have changed somewhat with each child. With my first, I was a spoon feeder. Some people may judge me on that but, as a first time mum who hadn’t discovered the online world of parenting advice, it was the only thing I knew. My own mum spoon…
You know you’re in for trouble when the toy comes with a padlock and a special key to undo them. If your little monsters love anything weird and wonderful, Crate Creatures are definitely for you. This toy is not for the feint hearted. Just one pull of their tongue and up to 45 ghastly noises…
Horses have a very special place in our hearts. While I don’t ride myself (although it is on my 40 before 40 list), I would love for my children to and what better opportunity is there than living on a farm with a livery yard. My eldest is a bit frightened of them but George,…
