We’ve been using the Mamas and Papas Baby Bud this week which is their new dining booster chair suitable from age 6 months to 3 years. I wasn’t sure that we needed it but I was asked to review it and actually, now that I have, I won’t be using anything else for a while! It’s proved to be a really good item and both the children are getting use from it! When Jimmy started weaning we used a chair […]
The Easter holidays are about to be upon us and it’s always good to have some activities lined up to entertain the children so I thought I’d let you know the top three things we want to do this holiday! 1 Last year we visited Willows Farm in St Albans for their Easter Eggstravaganza and we had SO much fun! It was a lovely sunny day and we played in their sand pits, bounced on the inflatable slide and castle, […]
It’s nearly that time of year again! The Easter Bunny is due to make an appearance soon, the children will be off school and chocolate is going to be in plentiful supply! I love celebrating Easter, not because I am particularly religious but just because I love an excuse to get festive and have some fun with the little ones. Florence loves the Easter egg hunt so much that at other times of the year like Halloween, we have to […]
You know in the film ‘About a boy’ when he says ‘two people isn’t enough, what if something happens to one of them? You need three at least, you need back up’? Well that has always been on of the things I say when people want to know why I want a big family. I’m in the rare position of knowing what it feels like to be an only child while also knowing what it feels like to be one […]
Florence is far too grow up to sit in a high chair these days and most of the time flat-out refuses. I don’t blame her! She is small enough to fit in one because she’s so dinky but she’s too old really and feels like a baby. This does prove a bit of a problem when dining at tables though because she often can’t see over the top to eat! She’s not particularly short though, most of her friend’s can’t […]
I live in East London and although we had such a fantastic summer last year with the superb Olympics we hosted, I would say for a long time prior to the events we were a little sceptical about how it would actually benefit London, East London in particular, after the event. ‘Legacy’ was a word we heard often but not really much was released as to what it would actually mean. Even on spoof documentary ‘Twenty Twelve’ it was spoken […]
I recently wrote about the course I attended with The British Red Cross for Baby and Child First Aid. It was such a worthwhile course and I’m so pleased I went on it and learnt some new skills which may very well assist me to do the right thing if (and I hope I don’t) I ever need them. Jimmy recently fell over and hit his head while he was eating a piece of bread. He cried immediately but as I […]
Here in the Rocknrollerbaby household we are avid toy fans! Well, what household of two tinies isn’t! We love playing with toys but I have to say there are some truly bad ones out there in amongst all the goodies! I find it always pays to shop in trusted places and one of ours is the Early Learning Centre. We are big fans of lots of their ranges and could spend ages in their shops just having a play. In fact, when we’re in Norwich […]
Two weeks ago I wrote about how I was going to take on the 30 day challenge using my new ProClinical A1500 electric toothbrush from Colgate. It has a 30 day money back guarantee if you’re not wholly satisfied with it which is rather confident of them! The brush is VERY pricey and I was keen to know how they could justify charging so much for essentially something I usually pay 15 pence for with a bog standard value tooth bush from the […]
For the last two year’s I have taken Florence to see ‘In The Night Garden Live‘ and it has been utterly, utterly brilliant! The first year, when she was a super mega fan was probably my favourite as her face was totally mesmerised. She was only 1 and a half but she loved every single second of it and then the second year, even though she wasn’t quite as into the show as she used to be, she still thought […]
