Britmums Live! 2013 link up
Hi to those of you I’m hoping to meet at Britmums Live in June. Scary as I won’t know anyone there (although guess I’ve chatted through blog or twitter to some/many). So, who am I? (the top one obviously in…

What happens at a 2 year health check
N’s 2 year check was an interesting experience. Not at all like I expected. We were sent a questionnaire to complete beforehand on development things he can or can’t yet do (wonder how many people lie or just don’t bother…
Do children equal mess?
Pre-children, I think a lot of people probably think having kids is going to equate to mess. I suppose to a certain extent that’s correct once they’ve got paraphenalia, toys, books, clothes etc, there’s a certain amount of storage needed…
Snow day
I have to add the obligatory snow post, given it’s caused a lot of hassle and cancelled events as per usual. We had snow falling from about 3pm yesterday to about 4pm today, so a fair lot. Although it looks…
Playing sleeping arrangements
As I’ve said before, N does like his sleep, and generally sticks to his regular routine. Recently though, he’s started pulling blankets, pillows, cushions (and trying to pull off duvets) onto the floor and lying down as though he was…
Switches
People always say that babies like plugs and hence the whole babyproofing thing. We didn’t really do baby proofing (apart from a ‘lock’ on the bleach & cleaning cupboard) as N was going to have to learn where he could…
Meal Planning Monday – first timer (14th Jan)
I’ve vaguely spotted the Meal planning Monday link ups on twitter, but hadn’t seen any blog posts themselves, but as this year since being off work I’ve found I’ve been planning the weekly meals, I’ve decided I should join in…
Book review: The Invisible Ones – Stef Penney
Book number 3 of my 50 book challenge was The Invisible Ones by Stef Penney; it was one that I’d probably not usually have chosen. It’s not the usual modern fast moving crime/mystery book I read a lot of, but…
Chocolate
N doesn’t really have chocolate much. Pudding of some sort every day, cake a lot more frequently that I’d ever have had as a child, and lots of fruit, but chocolate less so. It’s amazing how quickly children decide they…
Boys and doors
Met up with a friend and her son today for a morning at ‘Baby Bounce’ and for a spot of lunch. The boys are only 5 months apart, but don’t see each other that frequently, so it was funny to…
Britmums sponsorship opportunity
Hopefully if you’re around the blogging world at all, you’ll have heard of the Britmums Live! conference. Last year I heard all the talk about it, but didn’t really feel that I was really part of the blogging world so…
