Seeing as tomorrow we will be flying with children to Barcelona it seemed obvious to share with you my 5 top tips for flying with a toddler and a preschooler. Going on holiday with kids can be an amazing experience, but it can also be quite stressful. I have spoken to a lot of Mum’s…
When my teen went back to school a few weeks ago, we received the usual letters home asking for us to provide emergency contacts and details of information evenings that were planned. The usual stuff that kids and parents have to sort at the beginning of school. There was another letter though, that wasn’t the usual kind of…
I hate to say it but I think summer is almost done. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting wetter and colder by the minute. The reality for us parents though is that the kids still need entertaining and getting out of the house, before everyone goes up the wall. As…
The Furchester Hotel Magazine has been keeping Princess out of trouble this summer. She’s showing a real interest in reading and writing at the moment, so The Furchester Hotel magazine arrived on our doorstep at just the right time. My daughter is the kind of child that needs to be busy all of the time….
My Little Pudding recently turned one, so when Wicked Uncle got in touch to see if we were interested in reviewing any toys, I was there like a shot. Yes please!! Now these guys make some pretty mighty claims, and I was pretty keen to find out if they were in fact The Worlds Best…
Recently, the lovely people at Fruit Heroes sent Princess some of their healthy snack bars to try out. We are always looking out for tasty, healthy snacks on the go to keep Princess fuelled when we are out and about. She’s really active and needs things we can just grab when we’ve been to gymnastics or out…
This week the NSPCC launched its new campaign #ShareAware to help parents keep their children safe online. As a parent, knowing and understanding what my children have access to when they use a tablet, smartphone, computer, or games console is one of my biggest challenges. This is why I was one of 500 parents that…
This weekend we took a couple of trips to the theatre (because Mummy isn’t ever so good at checking her diary to see what’s already planned!). If you managed to catch up with this post you’ll know we’re trying out some ‘indoor’ activities with the girls now that Autumn has finally caught up with us….
Children are prone to all kinds of little accidents from the very minute they arrive into the world. They become more of a hazard the more mobile they become, and if you take them in to the great outdoors, the risk increases 10 fold, speaks the voice of experience. Bumps and bruises are apart of…
If you follow my twitter feed you might already know that last Thursday was a big day in our house. It had seemed like ages waiting for the GCSE results to come out. School finished for Teen at the May Half Term, and the list of exams he had to sit seemed endless. Just down to…
After feeling like things were going a little awry with the teenager and the husband last week I decided a family day out was called for, the whole family. We do a lot with the girls and leave the teenager at home quite often. It often suits him that way but from time to time it’s…
This summer is proving to be a tough one in some respects and I’m really starting to feel stuck in the middle. We have a busy house, with a newborn, a toddler and a teenager and keeping the peace can be tricky sometimes. My dear husband potters off to work everyday which he has…
I find as a Mum to a toddler and newborn that I am constantly washing my hands. No sooner as I’ve changed a nappy, used the bathroom, got lunch ready I could have washed my hands 3 times or more in the space of half an hour. This constant hand washing plays havoc with my hands…
