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

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

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

For as long as I've been buying toys for Ellie I've been aware of the discussion between parents as to what is better for babies/toddlers/children wooden or plastic toys. Now I've always been on the fence I suppose because honestly, Ellie has her fair share of plastic and wooden toys. I have always tried to… Continue reading Timber.Tots – 5 Advantages of Wooden Toys
Photographs
Ever since I was a teen I've loved taking pictures, I was always hiding in my bedroom trying to find new ways to take "the best selfie" or posing in some way. Yet actually, I hate having my picture taken, I get awkward and self-conscious and always feel like a whale. I remember when Luke… Continue reading Photographs
