    DIY/ Upcycling: Chunk’s Dinosaur Bedside Table

    29th April 2015

    Yes I’ve been at it again! Chunk has a bedside table that I was given a while back that he uses to put toys, books and his toy cash register on. It was very bland so I decided to get some wallpaper samples to liven it up. Chunk is a dinosaur-obsessed boy and has been…

    Competition: CBeebies Squidge Toy

    8th September 2014

    If you have a toddler that’s a CBeebies fan like I do, you may well know the song they use for the bedtime hour. “Now it’s time to say goodnight, to say sleep tight til the morning light…” -yeah you know the one! I love this song, mainly because it means the countdown to toddler…

    Disciplining Children in Public:- Do You Dare?!

    13th August 2013

    I’ve always been fascinated to see how parents deal (or not deal) with their children when they misbehave in public, and I’ve definitely seen the good, bad and very ugly throughout the years! Before I had a child, I would inwardly tut, laugh or roll my eyes when seeing mums or dads shouting, screaming, ignoring or…

    9th July 2013

    During the heatwave we’ve been having this week, I’ve started to think of little frozen treats that my son can enjoy to attempt to cool down. Overheated toddlers are not an enjoyable experience!

    So as you know, I’m slowly introducing potty training to my 15-month-old, and have found the perfect potty for home;- but what happens when we’re out and about? I have a vivid memory of me as a young child returning from holiday on a long car journey, desperately needing the toilet. My dad pulled over in a…

    Sleep..what’s that again?

    1st June 2013

    The words of Hamlet; “To sleep, perchance to dream” are so apt right now it’s untrue! I miss sleep SO much and I’m starting to feel the zombie, tell-tale signs of sleep deprivation that were constant in the first four months of Chunk’s life. For the last few days, Chunk seems to not want to…
