Project 365 photo a day – week 10
It looks like Spring is well and truly on its way (touch wood), so we’ve started getting outdoors more, plus of course there’s been pancake day, so some obvious choices for this week’s Project 365. Sunday – Sundays always used to be N’s nap catch up day, getting ready for the week ahead. Recently in […]
Here comes the sun…a spot of kite flying
It’s been a long time coming, but other than a few sporadic bursts of sun and blue sky between rain clouds, we’ve had nothing like today’s weather. It’s been quite glorious and just about warm enough to be outside without a coat. Fridays are great as I usually finish work early to be able to […]
Learning to dress yourself – how to put on a jumper
I have never seen anything as amusing as my son trying to get himself dressed. Learning to dress yourself is obviously a lot harder than you ever remember back when you yourself were learning. He can get himself dressed if I lay everything out the right way up for him, although bottom half he knows […]
Bath time fun with wooden bath toys
When I heard Plan Toys did wooden bath toys, I did a double take and looked again. We’ve been lucky enough to try their Water Landing Net set on behalf of The Toadstool. To say that N was excited to see what was in the parcel is an understatement. He loves toys in the bath, […]
Rehydrate with The Body Shop Body Butters, plus giveaway
| Competitions, Hair & Beauty, Lifestyle, Reviews, Reviews and Sponsored
I’m quite lazy when it comes to moisturising and body lotions. It’s only really summer when I start thinking about it (the whole concern about having to potentially get my legs out!), and previously when pregnant to try and avoid stretch marks. But having been reintroduced to The Body Shop lotions and potions at the […]
Chatterbox or contemplative child
It astounds me how much N chats. He really is a chatty boy, and that’s great (although hard on the ears sometimes). Thankfully he doesn’t always talk at top volume, but it is incessant. I definitely believe that the amount he jabbers on (and as he has done from June) has helped with him overcoming […]
Project 365: Week 9 photo a day
I almost forgot to do my round up for Project 365 this week, so rocking up a bit late. We’ve had a busy week (well last weekend), so some more interesting snaps to sum up. We spent a day in Nottingham at a blog meet and then afterwards meeting a friend and her daughter. N […]

Retro Love Hearts sweets hit 60
At the Midlands blog meet last week, we were lucky enough to have received goody bags to take away with treats from the sponsors. One such sponsor was Swizzels Matlow and we chomped quickly through the drumstick squashy sweets in the bag. N’s not really given sweets, but as we were away and he seemed […]
