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 […]
Life: The Day I Stopped Feeling Guilty And Everybody Won
On Friday afternoon, something odd happened. I had a bit of an epiphany. I was knee-deep in piles of dirty washing (Friday is both my day off and the morning my eldest is at preschool, so it’s my chance to catch up on All Things Housework to save doing it all weekend), I needed to […]
Life: 5 Ways Going To BritMums Live Is A Bit Like Going To School
In a couple of weeks, I’ll be going along to <a href="http://www propecia dosage.britmumslive.com/”>BritMums Live 2016 – an all-day blogging conference that ends with the Brilliance In Blogging Awards, in which There We Go is a finalist for Fresh Voice (eeeek!). As I panic over what the hell to wear, who on earth I’m going […]
Travel: How To Teach Your Toddler A Second Language (When You Don’t Speak One Yourself)
Let me start this post by explaining that – despite the fact we own several English-Italian bilingual books – neither my toddler, nor my preschooler, speaks a second language. Having said that, I’ve just backed a Kickstarter campaign to develop a new kind of language-learning book for children, and I think it could radically change […]
Family: I Remember The First Time
My youngest has just started putting words together this week. She’s 1-and-a-half, and ‘I do it’ is the current favourite – uttered at least 800 times a day, mainly when I’m in a rush to leave the house (and ‘it’ is putting all her clothes on, backwards). We had ‘Happy bu-day to you’ today, which […]
Life: Harambe The Gorilla – Let’s Sue The Four-Year-Old
You’ve heard about Harambe, the poor 17-year-old gorilla who was shot and killed at Cincinnati Zoo over the weekend when a child fell into his enclosure, yes? You’ve seen the Facebook memes with the sad-faced primate, the #JusticeForHarambe tributes all over Twitter, and the stories splashed all over the news. Hell, you might even be […]
Family: The Things We Do For Love
I just spent £20 on a toy dog no bigger than the palm of my hand. No wait. I just spent £1.20 on a toy dog no bigger than the palm of my hand. And £18.80 to have it sent in the post. FROM OHIO. Yes, that’ll be the one in America. Did I mention […]
Family: Don’t Applaud Me For Not Being On My Phone Around My Kids
I wish my nails looked like this. Alas, not my hands. Or my phone. Yesterday at the park, an older lady complimented me. “Well done you for paying attention to your kids,” she said as she passed, “and not staring at your phone like they all do these days.” The “they” she was referring to […]
