Happiness in a hug – from baby to little boy
*Ad – sponsored post I’ve said before that my family and friends were a little surprised when we announced we were having a baby. I’m not a baby person at all, and I stand by that even now (although at…

Food for thought on healthy eating and pregnancy diet with Aptaclub
When I fell pregnant I’d been on a diet – lots of healthy eating and exercise, and was at my ideal weight. Unfortunately, however much I wanted to eat well, my body was just craving food. No savoury or sweet…just…
Preschooler sweet nothings and a pretty christening
It’s always good when your child starts saying nice things about you. It’s not often N says much about people. Thankfully we’ve not had him pointing out people in the street and asking about babies etc, given he’s recently got…

Missing a child’s sports day
The summer holidays obviously don’t mean a lot to us yet. They will do next year before N starts school, but until then, we’ll be carrying on pretty much as normal. N’s nursery school has finished for the end of…
Point and Shoot – cars, canals, fetes and cheeky monkeys
We had a manic weekend this weekend. I can’t believe N was still waking up at 5.15 each morning, even though he was on the go all day. Quick naps were needed for the first time in ages. On Saturday…
Swimming and learning plateaus
So, swimming. I think, after having 2 to 3 weeks of dubious attitude, behaviour and lack of attempt to show any interest in what he should be doing, that we’ve hit a swimming learning plateau. That depressing phase where young…
