What makes one baby group work and another not?
Over the past year and a half N & I have been to lots of different baby & toddler groups. We were lucky at the beginning having had a group of good NCT friends where we could all agree to…

Taking babies to work
It was a while ago now that the tv show was on, but there was recently a documentary on BBC2 about a company who trialled an American work idea of having parents bring their babies into work with them. The…
Summer sales
I’ve said it before, I’m a fan of shopping. I have to admit that I’m not keen on shopping for myself at the moment (predominantly because I’ve got loads of clothes that I can’t get into so don’t really want…
Little dancer
Every development toddler email newsletter I receive seems to have mentioned that this is the stage where toddlers are on the move (mmm, think we’ve had that stage for a while, although running is definitely a favourite at the moment)….
Cultural entertainment
N’s not really a fan of the television. Well, he doesn’t seem that fussed by it, even though (naughty me) it tends to be on all the time as background noise. I always mean to put the radio on but…

Words words words
N’s always been a bit of a chatty one, although it’s so far been more jabbering to himself than many discernable words. He’s getting there, although is showing little want to actually make an effort to copy specific words people…
Cloud dough
Well I think it’s called that if I can remember through my very busy mind at the moment. Have been manic with work, and out and about a lot (plus have a lovely new phone) so just haven’t had time…
Nursery extras
Apart from the air temperature at N’s nursery which seems to be a bit hot for him, I’ve been really pleased with the nursery I chose (note I, as the OH wasn’t fussed about nurseries and made the decision about…
