Exploring Mum Life

Winnie the pooh figure
For our anniversary we decided to head to London to have 2 days away as a family. We secured tickets to the ExCel Centre Exhibition Disney 100 and off we went. Staying at the Premier Inn which is next to the Excel Centre, seemed the best choice to avoid using the tube. Firstly I decided […]
pumpkin field
Today we braced the weather and headed out to Wroxham for a family fun day out. As it’s my sons first Halloween I wanted to go all out and go to the pumpkin patch and pick our own pumpkin. As soon as we walked in the staff and the actors walking round made a huge […]
Hide n squeak eggs
We started off with him between our legs so we could support him. Then to stop him falling over we gradually increase distance, but always being aware of where they fall. If he was going to fall over is his head going to be okay and could we soften the landing. This is the main […]
As it’s my son’s first Christmas I decided to do some salt dough baking, as it was my first time making it I just did several foot prints. I plan on giving these to his grandparents from my son for Christmas! The recipe: You can bake for 3 hours or until they are golden and […]

bee swim float
This week I took my son swimming for the first time, we took him to Riverside pool in Norwich on Wherry Road. They have 2 pools including one for children. It is a lifeguarded pool, with unisex changing stalls and family changing rooms. I researched what exactly he needs to wear for baby swimming and […]
I’ve just start weaning my baby boy and after scrolling through the internet for what seems like months I’ve come up with a plan. I’ve come up with the table below from information on the NHS and will introduce foods slowly using the 4 day method to test for allergies. If you don’t know what […]
