There’s Never Too Many Penguins!

Posted in Uncategorized

Strange title for this post you might think but I have to say I’m inclined to go with Mr Polari’s end of the show feelings and categorically state that there are NEVER too many penguins! What on earth am I talking about? Well that’s a good question and one you will be glad you asked because the answer may just provide you with something wonderfully special to do with your children this winter! As you may know, Florence, Jimmy and […]

Lion Spoons Craft Fun!

Posted in Uncategorized

We’ve been getting crafty again this week! Well, when I say we I actually don’t mean me really for apart from cutting out a few triangles and giving the odd pointer Florence did this particular one all on her own! She loves to make things and sticking is her new favourite hobby be it with glue or sticky tape! Seriously, sticking things can keep her entertained for absolutely ages and she’s had her eye on the craft box from the […]

Bibtastic!

Posted in Uncategorized

Jimmy is almost 6 months old now and I know you’re supposed to wait but it’s only two weeks away so I thought I’d give him a little taster of food. Nothing too adventurous and nothing on a regular basis, just as and when he looks interested. I guess that’s why I wanted to start a couple of weeks early really, a chance to get myself (as well as him) in the swing of things before he will need regular […]

Lighten up! It’s just a bit of fun!

Posted in Uncategorized

Askamum (They love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting!) I absolutely love a celebration and a bit of joining in with whatever is going on always goes down well in our house. I’m not a Royalist by any stretch but waving ‘Jubilee’ flags has kept my little one entertained all summer. Florence actually thinks the ‘Union Jack’ is called a ‘Jubilee’ flag and she spots them wherever we go. Of course it was a good summer to be ‘Jubilee’ spotting, especially […]

Spoooooooky Party!

Posted in Uncategorized

With Halloween just around the corner and me being the ‘any excuse for a party’ type that I am we are gearing up for a spooktacularly festive end of October! Florence loved it last year and was way more into it than I had thought she would be; she has continued to talk about it for the whole year so she’s thrilled that it’s coming around again and she’ll be even more thrilled when she finds out what I’ve got […]

Bit of a Sassy Horse!

Posted in Uncategorized

Jimmy has grown up these past few weeks, sometimes almost like you could see it happening before your very eyes in just minutes! He was  a tiny, tiny baby such a short time ago and the now he’s almost on the move! His sister crawled when she was his age and I didn’t think he was going to do it but actually, he’s so almost there! He also sits for a little bit now too and I think is pretty […]

It’s competition time again! You may remember that a while ago, just after Jimmy was born in fact, we went to see Top Cat at the cinema and I’m happy to announce that the film is now out on DVD to buy! We loved the film when we saw it back in May (see what we thought here) and we’ve watched it countless times on DVD now too! It’s one of those films that’s entertaining for the whole family and not just the […]

Perfect Cuppage!

Posted in Uncategorized

As I’m sure any parent will testify, the search for that perfect toddler cup is a long, arduous and expensive one! I can’t even remember how many cups we’ve bought and binned, bought and then they’ve stayed at the back of the cupboard or bought and still use despite them not being very good because we need something, anything even if it’s a bit rubbish! The main problems we’ve found in our search have been leakage and ease of use […]
