Mud kitchens
Nursery have a new feature…a mud kitchen. I used to think N was bad with sand, but at least that was dust-able off (and even when he mixed it with water, it wasn’t too awful on the washing front). But…

Review: Tangle Teezer
I don’t often treat myself to something new on the hair and beauty front, mainly because I stock up on 3 for 2 so end up spending ages using them all up. But I do struggle with tangly hair. Seriously…
Dropping naps…or not?
Sleep is always at the top of the agenda when it comes to parents discussing their babies, and as they reach toddlerhood, it remains a topic of conversation. Early on it’s all about how long they’re sleeping at night and…
Tractor Ted obsession
I’m a little concerned with N’s obsession with Tractor Ted. It seems harmless enough…educational dvds, learning about farming and therefore what his family are involved in. But he wants to watch a dvd every day without fail. The other day…
Am I talking to myself?
Do we talk to ourselves? Do people really listen? In my case, I do wonder sometimes. I know I have a tendency to ramble on, and I’m quite happy when friends (and past work colleagues) say they’re just nodding as…
Book Review – Parragon toddler books
After meeting Parragon at Britmums Live last week, I was excited to find out about more children’s books. In my view you can never have enough books in a home (much to my OH’s consternation), so we’re building up a…

You’d not think that singing would go with swimming, but when it comes to taking babies and toddlers swimming, it’s the norm. In fact most pre-school children’s activities involve singing at some stage, so I should really be that surprised…
I came, I saw, I went…to Britmums Live 2013
After last year, I only heard about Britmums Live (and in general blogging conferences and summits) when it was too late, via all the updates on blogs and twitter. So I was determined that I would get to Britmums this…
What’s in your handbag?
Hmm, of course it’s hard to work out which handbag to choose because of course being female, I do have more than one bag. But MoneySupermarket are interested in finding out exactly what’s in people’s bags and how much value…
Positive thoughts
I’ve just realised how easy it is to jinx good thoughts. People usually say I’m a bit of a moaner and that I can be negative. However, I like to think I’m a realist. My theory is that if you…
Knowing when to lose the pushchair
It’s so hard knowing when to lose the pushchair. Children go through phases with their pushchair. Quite happy to sit there. Then refusing to get back in when they’ve been given a chance to walk. Then refusing to leave it….
