Post Easter fun

Baby hints and tips 4: memories and family
Number 4 in my baby hints and tips series is a bit of a mix, but it’s based on memories and family time. Having a new baby is obviously a time when you’re finding your way and trying to work…
Bath toys and water spouts
So whose children have lots of bath toys? Once N could sit up, I was keen for him to have something to play with in the bath. You see all these exciting toys with wheels and spouts for pouring water…

Toddler chores
N’s big on toddler chores at the moment. He loves helping out; getting used to helping doing things round the house (however unhelpfully at the moment) may (fingers crossed) mean he’s more willing to help when he’s older. So far…
Remembering retro toys
One of the great things about having children is getting to reminisce about all the old retro toys we used to have way back when we were kids. You tend to want to have your children experience similar toys especially…
