For my Mums birthday this year we went to spend a day in Lewes. I have been a few times before but never really done the touristy bits. We visited the Castle (well, what’s left of it) and also Anne of Cleves house. You can buy a joint ticket that gives you access to both of these for a reduced…
So I had a few weeks off from these weekly posts, and at first felt bad but thought at least I’m not writing them because I’m busy doing things and having fun, and then being exhausted from having fun/doing things… Anyway the last few weeks have been full of little days out, either to the park, play dates at friends,…
Top: F&F (Tesco) and Skirt M&S. Both of these were gifts from my mum to Athena, and the colours go really nicely together despite being from different places! The skirt has little birds on it, as well as a lining and pockets, which pleased Athena immensely and they’re often full of biscuits! She’s wearing them with a pair of…
Last week I bought myself a new (to me!) buggy, as a consolation present for losing a house we really wanted to buy! I know this makes no sense whatsoever but I needed a reason to justify the purchase! This will also be an Arlo-only buggy, one he doesn’t have to share with his sister, plus I’m fairly certain…
During our term with Waterbabies we did a few activities that involved the use of toys. Using these toys and props helps to make things more exciting for the little students, and for the parents or carers who accompany them in the lessons! Many of the items used in the classes are available in the Waterbabies Shop so I wanted…
A few months back Sam was shunted from behind in the car, thankfully neither Athena or I were in the car at the time (I was pregnant) but the car seat was so we decided to replace it (with a Joie Steadi – here’s our review) which can be both forward and backward facing. If you’re unfortunate enough to be…
Fisher Price Smart Stages is a clever range of toys designed to last for longer than average and suit different developmental stages, helping your child to learn colours, numbers, shapes and more. As you’d expect from Fisher Price the range is well made, able to withstand even the most boisterous toddler attack and will last for years to come! We…
If you read my post a couple of weeks ago about how an underwater photo shoot works then you may have been awaiting the actual photos! Not as eagerly as us probably seeing it is OUR baby… but anyway they’ve arrived! I am SO impressed with them, take a look! Does he not look like the cutest thing ever? I…
This past four weeks have flown by, so it’s time for another Siblings post. Arlo is bigger and is starting to be a bit more interactive although still not quite to Athenas ideal! She can’t wait for him to be able to sit and play properly. At the moment he tends to just roll and roll across the width of…
I think it would be hard to find someone who hadn’t either been to or hosted a BBQ this summer! Chatting with friends, children having fun and piles of delicious smoky barbecued food, what more could you ask for? As part of the amazing Clubcard Boost scheme at Tesco I was asked to pick out my essentials for hosting a…
Athena only ever asks to watch three programs on TV. One of them is Bing, and it’s the least objectionable of the choices! I like it because each little episode has a nice moral to the story, and it deals with every issues that a toddler comes across; Sharing, potty training, losing things and bath times! Bing’s House is decorated just…
Another week when I don’t have the time or the energy to write up a proper weekly review post. Bit of a disappointing week as we had an offer accepted on a property only to have to withdraw it because our mortgage advisor is a douchebag basically. It’s a long story and I can’t be faffed to go into it…
