Lucky Athena got a new dress from the A/W Frugi collection because she is growing at a rate of knots! She only turned three in June but is now outgrowing all her 3-4 sized clothes so when it came to choosing something I thought she could do with a new dress to get us started on her new wardrobe in…
Athena starts preschool this week and is required to take a packed lunch with her to eat whilst she’s there. She’s not used to this at all as at her nursery she had all her meals provided and apparently ate everything, often having two portions of lunch, even if it was something she’d turn her nose up to at home!…
Today’s ‘local love’ post is from Katy, a blogger from Plymouth who blogs and does Daily vlogs featuring her three kids, husband and baby bump! you can find out how to hear more from her at the end of this post… Plymouth is a beautiful city on the south coast of Devon and has so much to offer, whether you…
This is a collaborative post in association with Andrex, all words and opinions are my own. So you’ve got a recently potty trained child, well done! But sadly that’s not it done and dusted. They know when they need to sit on the potty and if you’re lucky they might even wipe afterwards! That’s all well and good but how you do prepare to…
Another ‘local loves’ post for today, this one is from Jessica who lives in Wolverhampton, she’s on maternity leave with her first baby and has shared her favourite things to do in this post… Living near a city centre there are always lots of things to do. Now I am a mommy and on maternity leave. I am always looking…
I’m always amazed about how much more intricate kids toys are now than when I was small, but when the new Go Jetters Head Quarters arrived I suddenly was a bit envious of the lucky people who get to think up toys, design them and then play around with them to make sure everything works well, because coming up with…
Whilst I’m away on holiday I asked a few fellow bloggers if they’d share some ‘local loves’ – things they love to do in their area, and this post is from Helen, you can find out more about her at the end of this post! I feel incredibly lucky to live in Oxfordshire. There is so much for families to…
We’re away on our holidays at the moment and I didn’t get a post pre written so I was hoping that we’d have a couple of nice opportunities for some siblings photos whilst we were away! In terms of their relationship this month Athena is being generally a lot nicer to Arlo, wanting to give him a cuddle before she…
One of the best things I ever did for my finances was start a penny jar. Okay, so… I know that sounds really dramatic… but hear me out on this one! I can be a super neat freak when it comes to my personal possessions. I keep my handbag and purse immaculate; there is not a stray receipt or food…
When people come to East Sussex, they often go straight to Brighton. It’s well known and there’s lots to do what with the beaches, museums and the sea life centre to name a few attractions. But just 15 miles, approximately 20 minutes up the road, is Lewes. A historic town with a bustling high street full of cafes, antique shops, and…
I am always on the lookout for things to make food fun for my two notoriously picky eaters. What they like and dislike changes on a daily, if not hourly basis. I am always seeking ways to make dinner time less messy. Athena is now a fairly neat eater, although she does sometimes tip over a bowl or beaker by…
Athena hasn’t been at nursery since the end of May, she’s been going since she was 12 months old and absolutely loved it all; the messy play, the friends, the garden and the staff. We took the decision to take her out just after she turned three because although she loved it there and it gave me one day a…
