Building Dens for toddlers
I think I need a bit of practice at making dens. I remember going to family friends and building great dens, but N’s not seemed fussed about them so far. He has started wanting to sit on the sofa and…
Activities
Everything we get up to – activities, learning and play
Messy Play
Last week was a holiday week. Well, Monday to Thursday was a holiday week. It’s nearing the end of the holiday year and again as the OH refuses to go away on holiday, I’ve got plenty of time still to…
Baths versus swimming
When you’re a first time parent, it seems to be obvious (at least from all the information that’s out there) that babies love water…it reminds them of being in the womb, it’s warm and comforting etc. But not all babies…
NCT nearly new sale – hard work, bargains and fun
An experience of volunteering and buying at the local NCT nearly new sale, selling baby, toddler and children’s equipment and toys
Review: Our ‘must have’ toy
Like all families with children, we seem to be overrun with toys (and books). Luckily N seems happy to play with almost all of them, rediscovering old toys in the bottom of the toy bucket as well as enjoying any…
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…
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…

Odd?! Couldn’t work…
Wiped out before baby swimming lessons
Finally N’s started to enjoy his baby swimming lessons. I decided when it came to rebooking for the toddler classes, that he was hating it the worst he’d ever done, so it was time to cancel and hope that we’d…
Last minute swimming breakthrough
Of course it’s typical. With only 3 weeks to go before our swimming commitment is over, N has decided that swimming’s not as bad as he’s been making out since September! Yes, we’ve had a swimming breakthrough. Some people would…
World book night freebie
I love a freebie so can’t resist talking about it even though it’s nothing to do with parenting! Well, I suppose books are important to me, and so far N loves them too, so hopefully his love will continue as…
