Easter and more
We celebrated Easter two weekends in a row…let’s face it, where chocolate’s involved that’s not a bad thing! The weekend before, we hosted our latest NCT group get together. It was great to see everyone again as we only have…

Tips for easier housework with a baby at home
I’ll admit now, I’m not particularly houseproud. If we have people coming to visit, I’ll do a clean. If the bits that the husband’s brought in from the farm are taking over the floor, I’ll get the hoover out. But…
Why do men…?
Or more precisely, my husband. Why does he continue to ask “what’s wrong with him?”, when N is crying or doing something out of character? I mean, it’s ridiculous asking me. N doesn’t talk yet so how would I know…
New tastes for toddlers
I reckon Ns tried more foods than I ever had by the age of ten (previous post on A-Z here). I guess nowadays there’s a lot more flavours and cuisines around, and even though we’re not that adventurous in our…
Injections for babies at 1 year old
Yesterday it was N’s 12/13 month jabs – boosters and his MMR. I had no worries about him having the MMR as some parents have in the past. With his second set of jabs back in March-ish time, he wasn’t…
Listography: top 5 biscuits
I have a sweet tooth (personally I think it may be genetic as my mum’s a bit of a chocolate lover as well, plus we weren’t really allowed much sweet stuff as kids so think I’m rebelling against that as…
Jeans on young children – how times change
Denim – greatly practical, and loved by lots of different age ranges. Obviously they’re a personal thing anyway, but when it comes to babies, they seem to divide people’s opinions. I’m not a fan of them on really small babies,…
Our hand foot and mouth experience with a baby
We’ve been quite lucky compared to some of my friends, in that N’s not really been ill much…a touch of diarrhoea, a couple of colds, but thankfully nothing’s really hit him too badly (touch wood this continues). But last week…
Top tip timesaver – John Frieda Frizzease 3 day straight
*Ad – contains affiliate links I’ve been thinking for ages about trying the John Frieda 3 day straight product but wasn’t too sure given a) the price and b) it says for curly hair. Mine just has a bit of a kink…
Money for nothing (and the cheque’s for free)
I’m a big fan of vouchers, coupons, discounts…any bargain really. I reckon I inherited the gene from my Nan on my Dad’s side. And in this day and age it seems everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Obviously you can…
Love those (nearly) new toys
Yesterday was the first local NCT nearly new toy sale. It was different to the usual sales in that it was a table top one, just selling toys/games/books, so people booked a table and sold their own stuff. I wasn’t…
