Florence absolutely loves arts and crafts and modelling dough is on of her faves! She could easily sit for hours upon hours playing with it which is fabulous and she so enjoys it. Sometimes we make it ourselves and other times we use shop bought dough, both are equally as fun but both are fairly messy it has to be said. I really like encouraging her to play with messy things, especially when it’s something creative because I know she […]

When I was pregnant with Florence I kind of assumed I’d make other Mum friends at my antenatal classes but when I turned up and looked round the room I couldn’t spy anyone who looked like I wanted to talk to them… I know it sounds rude but there just wasn’t anyone who grabbed me… Then in walked a girl about my age and she had the best smile! When her partner fell asleep during the VERY boring talk about […]

Munchkin bath toys are really cool. I’ve always thought that and we’ve been very lucky to have been sent quite a few in the past for us to review. One of my favourites is the Star Fountain which works amazingly well and blows out water in a really satisfying way! Loads of toys that say they will work in such a way just fall short of fulfilling their purpose and are a decided disappointment, not so with that one and […]

Florence is a new but MASSIVE fan of Doc McStuffins. It took her all of about 5 minutes to fall in love with the programme which has, shock horror, taken over from Peppa Pig even! I guess it was bound to happen at some point and she does still like Peppa but she’s growing up so something like Doc McStuffins had to be on the cards soon! When I first watched it with her I wasn’t that keen and Jonny […]

My lovely friend from The Mummy Adventure has written me another guest post, the darling that she is! If you read her last guest post for me then you will know that she is a bit of a buggy fanatic like me and it’s because of this that I trust her judgement on buggies implicitly! This is a great post then if you’re in the market for buying a Graco Sky! See what Becky thought of this buggy and I […]

When I was pregnant with Jimmy everyone kept saying things like ‘You MUST want a boy’! I remember thinking that was so incredibly strange? Why MUST I want a boy? Just because I had a girl already? Yes, I had a girl already but I loved and love having a girl. If I’d had another girl I’d have loved having another one too… I know that. In fact, given the choice back then and I probably would have plumped for […]

My sister-in-law is awesome. She’s a wonderful writer, very, very witty and a brilliant friend too. She writes Workitmamma, her fabulously funny blog about life as a working Mummy to my nephew Arthur and she very kindly agreed to write something for me and my blog while I am on holiday! Here it is: When the Bank Holiday loomed ahead I wanted to plan lots of trips and outings to various places. For several reasons it wasn’t to be and I […]

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a bit buggy mad and always have been. I wrote a whole post recently about why I love buggies so much and how my obsession started at a very early age. It seems I’m not the only! A lovely blogger and friend of mine, Mummy Adventure, has written a superb guest post for me all about her passion for buggies and the ones she likes best! Great to see the Bugaboo Donkey […]
