It's the half term holidays which means Ellie has completely her first half term at nursery. It's been a huge transition from her, for the last few years she has spent the morning at my parents, doing things on her own terms and being surrounded by adults while I've been at work. We would spend… Continue reading First Half Term

Review – Casdon Self -Service Supermarket Till
Ellie loves to role-play shopping and has really enjoyed testing out the Casdon Self-Service Supermarket Till. She'd had a really busy first week at nursery and she loved being able to play at home with her new toy. Upon opening the box Ellie was slightly disappointed the till wasn't already made (toddler problems right there!)… Continue reading Review – Casdon Self -Service Supermarket Till
Review – Doddl Cutlery Set
We have recently had the chance to work with Doddl to use and review their cutlery set. Ellie is 3 now and is confident in using a spoon and fork when eating however she's suddenly decided she doesn't like the feel of the plastic children's cutlery we currently use and had started eating with her… Continue reading Review – Doddl Cutlery Set

Happy New Year

I have neglected my little space on the internet and have felt quite lonely without it at times. I have taken some time to really think about what I… Continue reading Happy New Year
Cookie Dough Kids
When Ellie needs new clothes I try and shop small as much as I can but it isn't always easy to do. Shopping small means you are giving someone else a paycheck but with that usually means products are sometimes more expensive BUT they are handmade, take more time than mass-produced clothing and have so… Continue reading Cookie Dough Kids
September
What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been. It's hard finding the right work/life balance when you've been off for six weeks and haven't had to think about work at all! I'm missing our days out and being able to stay in our pj's until lunch time! Honestly, I'm just missing the summer because… Continue reading September
No more nappies
My plans were that Ellie would be completely toilet trained by the time the 6 week holidays were over but the closer we got the more I realised she really wasn't ready. She would have tantrums whenever we offered the potty or cry if she didn't have a nappy on. She would tell us it… Continue reading No more nappies
Empty Door
Our door remains empty, on the first day of school.No awkward photographs.No fussing over a clean uniform.The first day of school but you are missing. The first day of school. Jason should be starting Reception this year. I should be rushing around buying his new shoes, the uniform I had forgotten about and preparing him… Continue reading Empty Door

Prestatyn Sands Holiday Park Months ago I decided I'd treat us to a holiday, I couldn't afford much as I am only working part-time so thought I'd try the Sun Holidays as I've heard so many good things. I found a holiday park fairly close to where we've stayed the past few years which was… Continue reading Pontins
