One of my favourite parts of parenting, is planning parties. I love a theme, I love a Pinterest board, I love a bit of crafting. The run up to a party is so exciting to me, however, I won’t lie; the actual party itself stresses me out somewhat. I’m an anxious gal, who comes across very awkward and I constantly …
Bing’s Birthday Review
(This review originally appeared on North West End) If you have little ones who love Cbeebies, you’ll know of Bing – the bunny who often gets things wrong (and let’s be honest, is a pretty accurate portrayal of toddlerhood), who lives with the tiny and endlessly patient Flop. (I was partially hoping that today’s show would explain a) what animal …

Best Toddler Floor Beds: A comparison
My 20-month-old officially moved into a proper bed in March! It might seem early but honestly, the cot was a waste of time for this prolific co-sleeper and my back is already happier laying in his little bed, than it ever was bending over to get him out of his cot and then sitting in a rocking chair for an …
Ad| Stickle Bricks
I have such vivid memories of being a child, playing with Stickle Bricks. I can literally feel them in my hands while I sat on the floor in my childhood bedroom, building my own little spikey-world. So when this little box of Stickle Bricks came to the door (“for the children”) I was instantly transported back and the nostalgia was strong because the set was identical to the one I had as a child.
AD| Paint Pop Paint Sticks
Look, I like to think I’m a fun Mum. The set-up-a-Tuff-Tray-of-messy-play kinda Mum. The spends-far-too-long-cutting-shapes-out-of-fruit-for-a-picnic kinda Mum – and I love getting creative with the kids. But there is something about the absolute faff of getting out the paints that fills me with dread. I always squeeze too much into the pallet, water always gets spilt, the paper is so …
Alternative Gifts for Easter
It’s almost Easter and I’ve been hanging ridiculous carrot bunting along my fireplace and looking up some fun Easter crafts for the kids to fill up the holidays. However, I’ll be honest. Ruben still has a few Easter eggs left over from last year, and Indiana can’t have normal chocolate because he has an allergy to cows’ milk protein – plus Steven & I are vegan, so I think we’ll leave the chocolate egg buying to the grandparents.
#AD Peppa Pig Weebles Review
“Weebles Wobble but they don’t fall down!”- This has always been ingrained into my subconscious and sometimes I genuinely find myself just saying it out loud for no apparent reason. I never had any Weebles of my own, so when we had the chance to head to Smyths Toys Superstores and check out the new Peppa Pig Weebles, you better …
#AD: Cats Vs Pickles New Reversible Plushes!
Hey cool cats and pickles! One thing I didn’t predict to be a big part of life with a 3 year old is kissing several squishy cats and cuddley pickles from his Cats Vs Pickles collection goodnight every night – and this boy has a lot. So imagine his absolute delight when we were gifted two of the amazing reversible …
Newborn Baby Essentials (0-3 months)
When it comes to having a baby, there is just so much stuff involved. Having had two little ones now, I can firmly separate that never-ending list of stuff into two categories: Items I literally could not do without, and Nonsense that the internet told me I needed and are basically just taking up space in my already-cluttered home. I …
