Ellie went for her first ever sleepover last night. She has been asking to stay at both her grandparents houses for a little while and I knew we needed to let her. She packed everything she needed; pyjamas, clothes,hair brush, toothbrush, DVD player, night light, 2 teddies and she was ready. She also wanted to… Continue reading Sleepover

Wonderbly Personalised Childrens Books – Review
I often wondered whether Ellie would lose the passion she has for stories as she grows up or whether it will continue to bloom. It seems quite clear to me that as she's getting older she still loves to listen to stories, she particularly loves ones with unicorns, cheeky characters and most of all books… Continue reading Wonderbly Personalised Childrens Books – Review
Twenty Twenty
The year it all went wrong. I think it's pretty safe to say so far this year hasn't been the best. In February we were dealt with storms that lasted days and caused flooding damage to so many areas around us. Thankfully, we are fortunate that we don't live close to water and we didn't… Continue reading Twenty Twenty
First Half Term
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
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like 2019 flew by? I don't think I've had a single month where we haven't been busy. 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
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
