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
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
Story Props – Developing Storytelling

She sings all day long and knows so many nursery rhymes, more than I know and verses I've never even heard of. I've always been envious of those parents who have the… Continue reading Nursery Rhyme Play
Water Baby
I remember taking Ellie swimming while on maternity leave and I clearly remember being in the water 5 minutes and having to get out because she HATED it! The moment her feet touched the water she would scream and cling to me, it didn't matter how much fun I made it look or what I… Continue reading Water Baby

The Golden Key (gifted)
It is no secret that I LOVE books, specifically children's books. I haven't sat down and read an adult book in years, which bothers me terribly at times but I just find reading with Ellie brings me more joy than if I was reading on my own. Her love of stories is far bigger than… Continue reading The Golden Key (gifted)
Weekends

The one where Mummy cried far more than I would like to admit. The one where it all went tits… Continue reading Weekends
