When I first got an email from Andy Nickerson Photography asking if I’d like to try out a children’s photoshoot, I’ll admit: I was dubious. For one thing, we’re not an overly camera-ready family – one of the kids is usually snotty, the other tends to poke the camera lens every time I put it […]
Family: My Kids Watch Too Much TV, And I’m OK With That
I have a funny relationship with screen time. When I had my son, I would tot up the minutes he sat and watched TV so that he didn’t fall into whatever bracket The Scientists were currently saying was Too Much. I read the articles about the damage Too Much did to children these days and […]
Travel: 34 Tips For Taking A Toddler To Center Parcs Woburn Forest
So you’re taking a baby or toddler to Center Parcs? Let me fill you in on some essentials you need to know before you go… We’ve been to Center Parcs a lot. Like, really a lot. The husband works at Woburn Forest, and we’ve been to the other 4 villages several times, so it’s become […]
Family: A Letter To My Little Boy, Whatever The Weather
There was a moment when I knew, beyond any doubt, what it meant to be your mother. But it wasn’t the day you were born. It wasn’t the first time I knew about you, even – a long-awaited pink line forming in front of my eyes as I sat, perched on the edge of the […]
Family: 8 Things Worth Buying Before Your Toddler Starts Preschool
The Boy is starting at a new preschool this September. It’s just across the road – at the primary school he’ll *hopefully* start at the following year – so the idea is that by sending him for a couple of days a week over the next year, we’ll ease him in to the whole thing […]
Travel: 50 Things To Pack For A Beach Holiday With Toddlers
We set off on our first overseas family holiday – to Sicily – with our 1-year-old and 3-year-old kids a few weeks back. I still have bad memories of working out what to pack for a previous holiday to Tuscany – my first ever trip with a baby (when I packed everything including the kitchen […]
Life: My IKEA Mid-Sleeper Bed Hack (Plus Major Mum Points)
I’m a big fan of buying second-hand – there’s not a single piece of new furniture in my 3-year-old’s bedroom. I’m also a big fan of IKEA, so when I spotted a chance to combine the two I was pretty chuffed. I found this IKEA mid-sleeper Kura bed for sale via one of those selling […]
Travel: Italy With Kids – Festa Di San Paolo In Palazzolo Acreide, Sicily
We got back from a week in Sicily on Sunday. It was our first holiday as a family of four, and – aside from a long delay at the airport due to a mix-up with our keys (to be fair, two screaming kids in the Europcar office probably sped things up a bit) and an […]
Life: 6 Easy Ways To Get Out Of A Cooking Rut
I realised a couple of weeks ago that I’m well and truly stuck in a cooking rut. Despite the fact we own more recipe books than your average branch of Waterstones, I only ever seem to cook the same few dishes on repeat: lasagne, chilli con carne (made from the same packet of mince, obvs) […]
Travel: 5 Genius Travel Products For Under-5s
**UPDATE 22/6/16: Having now had a chance to test out the Prince Lionheart stroller clip I can confirm it is AWFUL and I can’t recommend it. So, I’ve swapped the link for another similar product that – although I haven’t tested and therefore can’t personally recommend – gets much better reviews online. Apologies.*** Holiday travel […]
