I’m not sure i’ve mentioned yet but we were picked to be Parragon Book Buddies a little while ago, which was amazing news as you can never have enough books and I hope to instill a love of books in my children like my parents did with me! Our first book is a gorgeous one, and I think i’m enjoying…
Little Chickie is a kids clothing website with lots of choice of brands, some firm favourites and some new names too. We were very kindly asked if we wanted to pick some outfits and experience ordering from the site. Firstly the Little Chickie website is definitely pretty, and although not essential definitely makes the browsing process more pleasant! You can browse…
I’ve written this post to potentially help any parents out there that come across croup, to either help them spot it if it happens to their child or to at least know a little more about it. I asked in twitter if a post would help and got a few yes replies, I’m (obviously!) not a medical professional so this…
So using cloth nappies saves you money, no doubt about that! However it is also quite easy to get a little bit obsessed with buying gorgeous nappies with lovely prints! People get as excited when TotsBots bring out a new print as they do when a band brings out a new single, I kid you not! It’s not hard to…
We’re off to London next weekend for a family day out, we’re going to experience the London Eye and then spend the day exploring Kensington Palace (please cross your fingers for nice weather for us!) I’ve said before on my blog that I love London, I can’t pinpoint why exactly though, perhaps because I was born there or perhaps because I…
Stressful is the best way to describe the last week, although it started off well! We spent last Sunday at Donna’s house to celebrate her little girl turning four years old! It was a perfect day, bouncy castles, barbecues and lots of new friends for Athena to play with. Monday was the first bank holiday Sam had off this year…
When you’re doing your regular garage door maintenance, it’s important to check the status of the door’s rollers each and every time. Catching roller wear and tear early means you’ll be able to easily replace those rollers before they turn into screaming, screeching garage door nightmares. Although most garage door professionals recommend that homeowners with great caution replace rollers, they…
I first tasted Horlicks when I was around five, and was staying at my Granny’s up in Cambridgeshire, and it’s one of the earliest memories I have of spending time with her (along with watching her clip her suspenders into her suspender belt and wondering why she didn’t wear tights like my mum!) She used to bring a little mug…
Who doesn’t love a new duvet cover? There is nothing better than climbing into a freshly made bed with a brand spanking new duvet cover on it! Okay, maybe if it was ironed it would be even better but me and the iron do not get on very well and if I had any spare time to iron i’d rather…
Well the last month has definitely been the one where Arlo has developed the most so far! He’s a cheeky little thing and is just awesome. So here’s a 5 month update. Sleep – this is the only bit I would change, given the option! He is still waking for feeds throughout the night, sometimes twice but often three or…
I’ve mentioned before that I am slightly dreading the our first family flight in January next year. It will be the first flight for both our children, and although it’s a fairly short one it will involve a lot of snow gear plus a 10 month old and a 2 year old! Eek! We’re flying out of Gatwick which is…
This last week has been fairly wet. I have more pictures of Athena jumping in puddles on my phone than anything else I think! We’ve not done anything particularly exciting and all the days seem to merge into each other so here’s a little list: Got up and onto a train with both kids by myself before 7am, arrived…
