Florence started nursery back in January and because it’s attached to a school it runs rather like a school with qualified teachers and structured learning time. We don’t call it nursery and in fact just say ‘we’re off to school’! Florence loves it and has had such a good first couple of terms, enjoying the learning, making friends and the new format to her days. She only goes two and a half days a week but it’s really been a […]
I have reviewed and written about all sorts of disposable nappies from all sorts of shops and one thing I find these days is that they’re all pretty good. Even the eco ones can often be used through the night and staying dry doesn’t seem to be much of an issue. Disposable nappies, on the whole, work! So, what sets some apart from others? Well price is a factor of course and sometimes buying high end brands can be a […]
More Sassy bathtime fun for us! This time we’ve been playing with the Bathtime Pals (suitable from 6 months) which are 5 cute characters associated with the sea who fill up with water when squeezed under the suds! Once their tummies are full, little fingers just have to squeeze and watch the stream of water shoot from the little character’s mouths! Not a new concept when it comes to a bath toys but no less fun than it always has […]
I’ve mentioned before that Florence is a massive fan of the television show Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom. There’s something about it that really captures little people’s attentions and it doesn’t seem to matter if you’re a boy or a girl, just as with other Astley Baker Davies productions, it extends its appeal to both sexes. As well as being magical it’s also very funny and with the spells going wrong the characters really make the children laugh. I think […]
More Sassy Baby Bath toys for us and aren’t we the lucky ones! We’ve been trying out the Snap and Squirt Sea Creatures which are just hilarious to play with! Bright, colourful and chunky to hold with gorgeously animated faces make this selection of delightful water friendly sea creatures! Nine characters in total, made up of an octopus, seahorse and crab to name three of them, which are really rather delightful indeed! Not only do they fill up with water […]
My friends at Bugaboo invited me to the Henley Regatta recently and I spent a lovely sunny day with them on the river. I took my Step Mum and sister as well as the children and while we were there my Step Mum told the people at Bugaboo how I had ALWAYS loved buggies! Even as a little girl! I can’t deny it, they have always fascinated me but right from the word go I have had firm ideas about […]
I’m not very good at making cakes and once even made one which was hard and black in the middle. No, I din’t put it in the microwave before you ask, I just put it in the oven at the temperature advised and out it came closer to a lethal weapon than a food substance. Jonny obviously nibbled his way round the blackened middle part but then he is the man who ate my disgusting onion rolls (another poor cooking […]
Dear Katie Hopkins, I’ve wondered whether or not to write this letter at all. I see that by doing so it is principally adding fuel to the media coverage I believe you are courting and although I’d rather not do that, at the same time I feel I had to add my two penneth worth. After all, you always have yours. Now, first and foremost, I don’t think you are a horrible person through and through. I think you are […]
A while back some friends organised a birthday spa trip for my pals 40th. I didn’t pay too much attention on where we were going or what we were doing and only knew that we were to stay at a 4 star hotel, have a light lunch, time in the spa, a treatment, a 3 course dinner in the evening and breakfast in the morning all for £118. Sounded a bit too good to be true but the friend organising […]
