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. I know some children aren’t so lucky though, but others have 4 sets. Unfortunately hubby’s Mum passed away last year, just after we found out we were expecting N. She passed away a couple of days after we had our early scan at …

Why do I blog? {The number game}
Recently I have been thinking about this, a lot – as have a lot of other bloggers judging by my Twitter feed. Why do I blog? 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?

#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:
Review – Infacare Night-time Baby Bath
Little man J loves his baths – he would spend all evening in there if he were able to. He loves pouring water from his bendy jug, fishing with his toys, making random words with his foam letters, drawing using his bath crayons, playing boats and quack quacks, but most of all he loves to play with the bubbles! When we were invited to try Infacare Night-time Baby Bath I gladly obliged as we love to try out new bubble baths. J’s skin is a little sensitive, and N’s even more so, so the fact that this is an ultra mild …
Meal Planning Monday – 21st July
Although I haven’t stuck to my meal plan every week so far, I’m surprised that I’ve actually managed to keep going for this long. Any other time I’ve tried, it’s only lasted a week! I am finding it so much easier though with regards to wastage and time for making meals, as I know the evening before what we are going to have so I’m not rooting around looking for something the next day, and any leftovers hubby usually takes to work for his lunch. Last week I managed to stick to plan other than Sunday when we went to my father-in-law’s …
