Slapped cheek?
Rashes are strange things, especially when they appear on children. Immediate panic if you always think the worst, or if you have a child like N who tends to get a few spots frequently, and the occasional prickly heat style…

Swimming woggle success
Whoop whoop. For the first time N swam a whole width on his own with the woggle. Usually he kicks when you’re holding on to him, but as soon as you let go, he stops kicking. But this time (and…
Birthday party fun
So far, given he’s only 2, we’ve not got into the perpetual cycle of birthday party after birthday party. Apart from informal ones which are just piling into soft play or general play sessions, he’s been to his 4 year…
Blenheim Palace visit
Since the snow left a week or so into April, we’ve been having generally warm and sunny weather. A few April showers but that’s to be expected. But it does meant that we’ve been able to get out and about…
Running, running everywhere
N’s turned into a little runner. Being a toddler, he runs everywhere. Whatever he’s carrying, he tries to run with it. Thumb in his mouth, and he’ll run. It does worry me sometimes, as he’s not the most careful. He’ll…
Mini Masterchef
I think I wrote recently about N enjoying ‘helping’ me cook. Here’s the post if you missed it. He’s definitely a mini masterchef in the making. I have to be so careful as now he thinks he’s a pro at…
Giveaway: Dribble bibs

Music for children
We’ve never really played nursery rhymes to N. I do have a cd of them which I played once in the car, but I wasn’t keen on the grating versions and N didn’t seem that thrilled with it so we…
Cheap ride
Before I had a child, I always pitied the parents in shopping centres having to drag their screaming kids away from the pay character rides they have wherever you turn. The children wanting to have another go, the parent needing…
Cheeky behaviour
I thought N was getting grown up as he’s no longer been taking his taggy blanket or Peter Rabbit toy to nursery. Just before he was due to start nursery, I thought it might help to have something to help…
Meal Planning Monday: 15th April 2013
My ‘try something different’ each week is getting harder to do as most new recipes take a bit longer than the old favourites that I know I can whizz up really quickly or that don’t take long to cook. By…
