REVIEW / DISNEY ON ICE PASSPORT TO ADVENTURE

Just over a week ago I took Elsie and her best school pal (and Mum) into Sheffield to see this year’s Disney On Ice show, Passport To Adventure. For the third year running, we were kindly invited to watch the show and on a suitably frosty and chilly Saturday morning when most people were still tucking into their breakfast, we were heading down the M1 for some Disney magic. Whereas

OVERWHELMED BY MOTHERHOOD

At the moment feel like I’m forever treading water and going nowhere fast. Do you ever have that feeling? Like you’re bobbing along on a wave and ferociously trying to move but no matter how hard you try, you don’t seem to get anywhere? This is my life right now. My life as a mum to two, with one being an eight month old baby. At the moment I feel

REVIEW / COSATTO SUPA IN ‘DRAGON KINGDOM’

I’m about to tell you all about a ‘supa’ stroller. But before I do, it’s time to ‘fess up and admit that although I am now a pretty seasoned mama of two, it’s taken me five years of parenting to actually use a stroller. Yes really. I kid you not. When Elsie was little we had one all singing, all dancing conventional travel system from birth and well, let’s just

BABY & MAMA UPDATE AT 8 MONTHS

Unbelievably, I am here yet again to give you another baby and mama update. The weeks really are whizzing by and I know I keep saying it, but I really just cannot get my head around the fact that Leo is now eight months old already. Bonkers. He’ll be one year old before I know it! It’s been a wonderful couple of months for us a family. Leo was christened

I won an award on Saturday night. But before I tell you all about it and share some pics, I firstly need to say a thank you. To you! For reading this blog of mine. My blog is now five years old. I started it in 2012 in early pregnancy when I found myself unable to walk for about a month after seriously hurting my back. It was truly a

REVIEW // BKIDS SENSORY TOYS

As babies’ toys go, I think this range of sensory toys from BKids might actually be some of the best I’ve ever come across. Certainly they’re the most colourful, appealing and contemporary ones I’ve discovered of late since having Leo. Leo was kindly sent a huge bundle of toys from Bkids to play with but for the purpose of this review I was asked to concentrate on the sensory ones,

SPONSORED // COLIC AWARENESS MONTH

When I became a mum for the first time back over five years ago, I had absolutely no idea whatsoever about colic. In fact, I don’t think I’d even heard of it! So imagine my surprise when Elsie, at just two weeks old, suddenly started crying one day. And. Did. Not. Stop. Just 15 days after she was born, on a sunny and unremarkable Saturday, everything went a little pear

REVIEW // ELSIE’S 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTY AT WACKY WAREHOUSE

It’s hard to believe my little girl is five. But so she is. Which is why back in July we celebrated her turning this grand ol’ age with a birthday party at our local Wacky Warehouse. Wacky Warehouse, for those of you who may not be familiar, is a soft play haven and birthday party venue for little ones. A place where they can climb, roll, jump and slide to
