365 Photo a Day Project – week 1

Book review: The Carrot Cake Catastrophe
The latest book we received from Parragon Books is the Carrot Cake Catastrophe. N’s always keen on anything to do with food, so although it takes him a while to accept new books, as soon as he realised this was…
Potty training – heaven or hell?
As N’s almost 3 and starting in the pre-school room at nursery, I decided that maybe we should take a go at potty training. Post-Christmas, I had a week off work, so it was the perfect opportunity to at least…
Books, books and more books – 2013 into 2014 book challenges
I’m a bit of a book lover, although I do go through phases of not reading much at all…that’ll be last October and December then. I did however, still manage to complete my 50 books challenge in 2013 which was…

Post baby weight loss
Some people are really lucky and lose their baby weight straight away. Others take the 9 months they recommend (9 months on, 9 months off). Others like me, have to work at it a lot harder to achieve post baby…
Crochet progress – how to crochet an infinity scarf
As I mentioned before, it’s been a while since I did any crocheting, and have never really followed patterns before so am very much getting back into it and having to relearn stitches. I had started a basic blanket, but…
