Our life with our toddler
It seems like an age since we were sat in our secret woods for last month’s sibling post. The long, hot sunny days have seemed endless and the relationships are blossoming between my three at the moment. They have all enjoyed the paddling pool although the baby has had his fair share of dunking, largely…
With three children, we have been through our fair share of trikes and scooters. From the plastic to the novelty, we have tried them all. Except for Micro Scooter. We were recently sent a Micro Scooter Trike for the baby so I am sharing what we think about it. When the farmer saw the box,…
What’s better than a new toy tractor? Why, a new toy tractor with a bale lifter, bales and a collection of animals. This Massey Ferguson Tractor Set is what my biggest boy was met with one morning when he came home from nursery. It’s a Massey, obviously. After all, if it ‘aint red, leave it…
Wow what a month is has been. The weather has been glorious and, for once, my house has been exceptionally tidy because the children have hardly been inside. We have been to the beach twice, enjoyed dinosaur crazy golf at our local garden centre and generally had a lot of fun outside. Despite lathering them…
I love toys that are multi functional and can transcend age groups. We were recently sent a 3-in-1 Sports Zone from Little Tikes and multi functional it certainly is, as well as multi purpose too.

When G was about 15 months old, we had just adopted chicks which had hatched at Boo’s school and I took a load of photographs of them in front of the lambing shed. Most of the pictures were wonderful and I have this one blown up as a massive canvas on my living room wall….
Parenting is a minefield at the best of times but when it comes to feeding your children healthy and nutritious snacks, many parents (myself included) struggle to see the wood from thee trees when it comes to the children’s snack aisles in the supermarket. When my daughter was a baby, everything seemed a lot simpler….
I love the idea of an Easter egg hunt. The problem with living on a farm though is that by the time you hide the eggs and get the children to find them, you actually run the risk of something else getting to the eggs before you. Goats, chickens, sheep, I am sure they would…
Every month, before I sit down to write my siblings post, I look back at the last one. Not just to see the photos I took and used but to see what we did last month. I actually thought not much had happened in the last month but I was wrong. In the last month,…
