I read a post by the lovely Tara over at Sticky Fingers Blog, where she has summed herself up in just one word. Just one. And then asked other bloggers to share theirs, too. Yes, I’d love to do that, sounds fun. And then I sat here about to write this and share my one …
Boo now goes to pre-school for two days a week, which means that it’s just me and the Little Man for those days. Now, he does like his naps, so I manage to get some work done in the mornings while he sleeps, and then it’s lunchtime and we’re off out after that. Invariably, ‘off …
So how’s your weekend been? Wet and windy like ours? I’ve really felt it not being able to get out to a park or go for a lovely walk this weekend, but it’s just not so enjoyable when it’s pouring with rain (especially as Little Man hates keeping his rain cover on the pushchair and …
It was Boo’s 4th birthday last week, so we decided to treat her to a night away at Alton Towers’ Splash Landings hotel. After a leisurely morning spent opening and playing with presents, we loaded up the car and made the journey northwards. We arrived at the hotel at around 2pm, and our room was …
Are her books popular in your house? Surely, if you have young children, you have at least 1 Julia book? It’s an assumption that I make, as we have so very many of her books, and they are absolutely adored here! We shared our favourite books in a post earlier this week, and Julia Donaldson …
As it’s Children’s Book Week, and as we do like our books here, I thought it would be fun to share our current favourites (note I do say ‘current’ – these can change on a month-by-month basis!) I asked Boo to choose her 10 favourite books. She’s just four, so this in itself was no …
As you’ll no doubt know from my recent posts, it was Boo’s 4th birthday last week. So much fun and excitement here, and as you’d imagine, seemingly endless gifts all over the place. I’m pleased to say that one of the presents that we bought her definitely caught her attention, as it’s travelled with her …
Boo was very excited recently to win a drawing competition, over at This Mummy Loves. The theme was ‘movies’ so she drew Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel (complete with Pascal!) and Smurfette. She enjoyed every moment, of course, and will be entering again this month, with the theme of ‘Halloween’ – why not get your little ones …
The lovely Em over at Snowing Indoors is asking us to share a little of our weekend, in photos with her. So, here’s a flavour of ours… It was mainly about this… It was Boo’s birthday on Thursday, which of course meant we were still opening presents, seeing family, playing with new toys and generally …
I adore this photo. I love the chaos of a birthday morning that it represents. Boo sitting there amidst paper, cards and strewn gifts. The husband on the edge futilely trying to tidy up around her. Little Man, in motion, wreaking havoc wherever he goes. Boo ripped open cards and presents at the speed of …
We had a ropey start to our week. Little Man had had his MMR jabs, and then, as I understand often happens, 10 days later he was not himself. He woke crying in the night at 2.45am, and then barely slept after that. Suffice it to say I was a little tired, too! It was …
3 months already! This still feels new to me, but then on the other hand, it’s become so ingrained now that I can’t imagine not blogging. I’ve published 94 posts and had over 1100 comments now. I’m continuing to love Twitter and Pinterest, pop over to Facebook, have discovered the joys of Instagram and am …
My little girl is starting to turn into a big girl. She is 4 today. Fours year ago, she initiated me into the world of motherhood. I’ve learned so much from her and she’s given me so much joy, worries, giggles, frustrations and delights. My life is nothing like it was before her, as she …
I was hanging the washing out the other day (not the most glamorous start to a blog-post, I do recognise), and I was struck by how peaceful the garden was. It was a sunny, crisp autumn day, with a little breeze rustling through the trees. I rushed through my thrilling chore and then popped inside …
