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

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

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

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.

Story Props – Developing Storytelling
Storytelling, reading stories and acting out known stories has quickly become one of our favourite pastimes as a family since Ellie arrived. Her love for books, nursery rhymes and everything literature has brought out a passion in me I haven't had since I stopped reading a few years back. Every night Ellie asks for a… Continue reading Story Props – Developing Storytelling
Timber.Tots – 5 Advantages of Wooden Toys
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
