As the festive season is almost upon us, we decided to head to one of our local garden centres for some festive, family fun. I don’t get to spend much time with my dad on my own (by on my own I mean without my mum, not without children) so, with my mum nursing a … [Read more…]
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, … [Read more…]
When toddlers get to a certain age, parents often wonder when is it the right time to put them in a bed. Some cots turn into little beds and some people opt for an ordinary single bed. Whichever you choose, there is always the worry of the little ones falling out. We rushed with Boo … [Read more…]
Getting your children to eat enough healthy and nutritious food is, in my opinion, one of the most important thing you can do as a parent. I am currently experiencing what can only be described as hell two different ends of the scale. On one side, with the baby, I am embarking on my favourite … [Read more…]

At two, G was a placid little thing and, when I had baby number 3, I did think to myself that maybe we had bypassed the terrible twos completely. Top marks for my own hopefulness. As the … [Read more…]

Living where we do, our children learn from a very young age that we need to be kind to animals. As soon as they can walk, I have encouraged my children to go and get our dog’s food out of the cupboard and stroke her gently. As they get older, we feed the farm animals … [Read more…]
We are currently the owners of one dinosaur-mad toddler. This child lives and breathes prehistoric with books, toys and endless viewing of Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures. I therefore thought I would share with you five places we have found within an hours drive of the farm in Warrington because, let’s face it, we can’t leave the … [Read more…]
Summer holidays are here and, while I have one school-aged child, the two hungry mouths that are currently eating solid foods, constantly make me worry about providing my children with filling, nutritious snacks. My eldest child is currently on a medication that can make you more hungry so I am even more conscious than usual … [Read more…]
I’ve never really been one for blogging about the children every month. After they are two, I often think yearly roundups are about enough but this week, G turned two and a half and I couldn’t let it slip without saying something. If I thought the jump in development from one to two was big, … [Read more…]
