Garden fun
For a boy, N’s never really been that into balls. He loves wheels, but balls he’s not so fussed about. (And I’m talking about the sporty version there!) Last year he did really love his ball pit, but more about…

Last year’s BloxFest (my old village’s May festival of stalls, food, crafts and 3 stages of music in 3 of the village pubs) was great fun, and packed out due to the great weather. This year the weather’s cold and…
The BBC magazine website yesterday had an article about six childcare gurus who changed parenting. It was an interesting read, and although I hadn’t heard of the earlier people (pre-Penelope Leach), I’d heard of the ideas behind some earlier parenting…
Ok so I’m a wuss. I love to dance having danced throughout childhood, ballet with a bit of modern dance, until I had to stop for 6th form as we had school on Saturdays. I then went back to dancing…

N’s quite partial to rabbits. Not like that, before your mind starts whirring and wondering, given he’s only 2 years old! He has a Peter Rabbit soft toy which his Gran gave him as a present when he was born….
N loves having baths. He would spend hours in them if he had the choice. He’s a bit limited on the bath toys front, but that doesn’t seem to worry him. A couple of sponges and a few scoop things…
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…
