Preparing my small human for the apocalypse one reusable nappy at a time.
One of my favourite hobbies is buying tired looking dolls from charity shops and giving them a makeover. I prefer not to buy new toys for Tiny as she has so much already and I hate the waste. I have a couple of rules - I never spend more than £2 and I avoid the … Continue reading Upcycling Preloved Dolls.
Like all 2.5 year olds Tiny is obsessed with Peppa Pig so after hearing how great Peppa Pig World was we decided to plan a mini trip there in the summer holidays as a treat.

We never planned to use a dummy but Tiny's had a dummy since she was only a couple of weeks old. Contrary to what we were told by literally everyone babies do not stop drinking when they're full.

So you're pregnant and b-day is approaching. Here are my thoughts on what to pack. Disclaimer - I only lived a 10 minute walk from the hospital so my bags might seem a bit lighter for that reason!

I love being asked to write reviews for products that I can use with my daughter and the new Willow and Wild box was no exception. The Willow and Wild subscription box is all about nature inspired fun and learning for 3 to 8 year olds, and I was gifted one to try with Tiny. … Continue reading Review: Willow and Wild Box.
We are all saddled with parent guilt at some point or other. The key is to not let it take over. I often wonder if our parents ever felt guilty for putting brandy on our gums, or letting us sleep in a carry cot in the boot of the Volvo estate car...probably not.
