Sunshine in a park
In the heat, any outdoor activity I want to do with my toddler, I’ve had to time for early morning. I wanted to get out to the playground this morning before the slide got hot and before everyone else arrived. We got really lucky and had the play park to ourselves for an hour. Nothing […]
Painted cardboard crown
It has been a very stormy and rainy couple of days. I’ve been looking for things to do that require very little and that will be activities my toddler would enjoy. We always have cardboard in the house to use so this seemed like the perfect time to get the scissors out and make something. […]
Horse in a river
We recently went on my favourite toddler-friendly hidden trail. My toddler’s current obsession is horses, and every walk we go on he wants to see horses. I wanted to go somewhere he could run free, and I didn’t want to have him hold my hand all the time. We like to do a walk in […]
Christmas tree
Today we stayed in and did the last-minute bits of getting ready, I love to dress up for Christmas so I’ve had my hair coloured and I’ve found some false nails to put on. I don’t bother getting my nails done as I want to rip them off after two days as I like having […]
Church
This afternoon I went over to my mother’s house to have some family time before the chaos of Christmas, we decided to go to the Carol service at the local church. Keeping a baby entertained at a Carol Service I took the pram as I wasn’t sure if he would settle or want to sit […]
gingerbread figures
So today we went to Waterstones and I finished my Christmas shopping, we had a rash scare from Theo but the doctor reassured us it was a common rash and he is now on antibiotic cream. So hopefully it goes away in a few days and isn’t causing him discomfort. I wanted to relax this […]
Nutcrackers
Today we headed out at lunchtime to Notcutts, I took the pram with me but didn’t end up using it as I wanted to show Theo everything. I’d not been to this garden centre before but had heard about it, It has a huge outside space where you can currently get your own Christmas trees. […]
A pubs christmas lights
Tonight we decided to go on a walk around where we live to see everyone’s Christmas lights. I love doing little things like this as it really makes you feel festive and is also a good excuse to get out of the house for a bit before bed. Next, we bundled Theo up in his […]
family photo with dogs and santa
Today we took the dogs out to the Forum in Norwich city centre where they got to meet Santa Paws. I like to scroll through the Forum website from time to time as occasionally they’ll have an event on I don’t want to miss like this. The Forum is also the library we use which […]
dog and baby
One of the things I know that stress us mums out about Christmas is it’s the spanner in the works for a routine with your baby especially if like me you aren’t that flexible with nap times. Baby Routines at Christmas may seem like a fantasy, however, here are my top tips to make it […]
