Accents are funny things. I wouldn’t class myself as having an accent that was recognisable as coming from a specific area. Having my formative years living in Windsor (therefore speaking very well, some would say posh, although it wasn’t received pronounciation), followed by years around the Banbury area, plus another 3 up north in Lancashire, I […]

When we received Haba’s Memo in the Zoo game to review, I thought it would be the perfect game for N. He likes playing memory games on apps, so having the tiles in real life would be a good alternative. The game is really good quality, as I’ve come to expect from Haba. The tiles […]
N’s always loved being with his dad, but previously has been a bit young to worry about his dad working late and not being around at tea. But now, he’s turned into a bit of a Daddy’s boy; he always wants to go out with his dad on the farm after nursery. Woe betide if […]
Just a quick one this week as short on time. We’ve got through more books than I thought, and have now run out of new books, having read all the library books we borrowed as top speed, and have run out of charity shop purchases. We did buy 4 books at a car boot sale […]
I’ve never really celebrated Easter with lots of crafting and decorating eggs, but I’d seen lots of egg decorating ideas on Pinterest (where else?!), and decided that this year I wanted to try some out. Luckily I like eating eggs, so they wouldn’t go to waste. I tried blowing eggs, as that was what I […]
Ok, so the title’s a little OTT, but N’s no longer the sweet child he was. The last week or so, we’ve seen (what I’m hoping is a fairly normal phase) N start shouting unpleasant things at people. It’s like he’s been indoctrinated by violent video games (Talking Cat, maybe?), been watching too many Quentin […]
Week 16 of project 365, the run up to Easter and there’s been lots of lovely dry (and mostly sunny) weather. Which means, lots of outdoor play after nursery and work. The downside is that lots of outdoor play means one really tired little boy, early bedtimes, and therefore much earlier wake ups. It really […]
I had grand plans for the Easter weekend. I’d taken the Thursday off work to tie in with N being off nursery, so had planned going to National Trust properties, doing various Easter events/trails and the like. Instead, N decided on Thursday morning that he would be wearing pants. So, it’s great that he’s finally […]
Ever since I noticed that there were going to be Gruffalo trails in forests around the UK, I knew we’d have to go on one. We missed the Stick Man trails, and N does love Julia Donaldson books, and The Gruffalo film so we were going to have to get to one of them. I […]
