It seems that I wrote J’s last update forever ago – maybe because I’ve only been doing it 2 monthly, and N’s updates monthly. Since then, he has developed a lot – he is learning so much. His independence is growing more & more. He now asks to wash his hands when playing outside and before he eats. He asks to brush his teeth – he used to hate it – though sometimes he does suck the toothpaste off rather than brushing! He is still a great big brother and becoming closer to N every day. He has started showing …
Meal Planning Monday – 28th July
We had a good week last week and stuck to the meal plan! I’ve noticed every week is looking quite similar at the minute, so from next week I’m going to be getting my cookbooks out and being a bit more adventurous. They are a bit ‘samey’ at the minute as little man is currently going through a fussy toddler phase, so if he doesn’t eat what we give him it’s either nothing, or toast! Meal plan for w/c 28th July: Monday – Vegetable stir fry (I ordered a stir fry box for our fruit & veg delivery last week so …
A to Z of Family – G is for Grandparents
Grandparents are one of the fundamental parts of a family unit. Sometimes they keep everything together. The little ones can twist them around their little finger. They are also great at babysitting (!). J & N are lucky and have 3 sets of grandparents. Hubby’s Mum & Dad. My Mum & Step-Dad. My Dad & his partner.

She passed away a couple of days after we had our early scan at …

Every month, thousands of bloggers await excitedly (and me, nervously) to see where they have ranked in the Tots100 chart. Out of around 8,000 blogs, to rank in the top 500 is great, but to be ranked in the top 100, well, that’s just amazing. Or is it? The whole Tots chart, it feels like a competition to a lot of bloggers. Well it is really, just like getting to the top of any chart. …
#VlogChallenge Week 3 – Books
As each week of the #vlogchallenge passes by, I’m becoming more confident – and I only had one outtake this week (I should start posting them shouldn’t I?)! There could’ve been more but I was pushed for time and I didn’t want to keep starting again, so be sure to expect lots of pauses and “erm”‘s! It’s actually longer than 2 minutes this week as well. So here is my week 3 of the #vlogchallenge – Books:
