This is a photograph of me taken by my 7-year-old daughter. I don’t like photographs of myself and am much more comfortable on the other side of the camera however, I am forcing myself to be on this side of the camera for a change to record a weight loss journey I am about to embark […]
Getting dirty is fun! Fact. Getting toddlers clean, not so much… We were sent a bottle of H&A Nemo bath bubbles to try out and see if we could make getting clean at bathtime just as fun as getting mucky in the first place… My children love mucky fun, whether that be jumping in muddy puddles […]
I love taking photographs, whether they are are my family, things I have created or just things that I see and want to capture, but I find that I take all these photos that all mean something to me and they are then abandoned and left hiding away on my phone or hard drive. So this […]

My five year old daughter loves role play so she was delighted to be sent the Post Office set from the Casdon Little Shoppers range to review. She was eager to get playing as soon as it arrived so I set it up for her, this did require some fitting together of the plastic parts […]
I love a good walk in the park, the sun shining on your face, the fragrant scent of grass and flowers and of course the excited cries of the children running ahead, hiding and jumping out at each other, then rolling down the grassy hills or racing each other to the swings… However on Sunday […]

Today we played with coloured wooden beads. Ben who is 5 struggles with his fine motor skills as he is hyper-mobile so as well as having fun, practicing threading is really good for for his development. Playing with the brightly coloured and different shaped beads was also great sensory play for Elizabeth who is two, she was really […]
