My big plan was to have my two year old make paint with me today, but as it happens I’m his minion and that’s my job. He simply would like to play with the paint once it’s ready. Put in my place, I quickly whipped up some paint ready for our invitation to play. I …
Review: BRIO Play & Learn Musical Caterpillar
The latest BRIO product we’ve received for review is the BRIO Play & Learn Musical Caterpillar. We have previously looked at a few different BRIO products including the BRIO Light & Sound Garbage Truck and the BRIO Push & Go Racer, so I have come to expect great things from BRIO. The Musical Caterpillar is slightly …
Snow Day Toddler Activities
{AD} Lots of children love to play in the snow, but playing out in the cold is only sustainable for a certain period of time when you’re small (or when you’re a grown up, in my case.) Not wanting to let our snow themed day come to an end, we decided to set up a …
Review: BRIO Push & Go Racer
Squidge has an obsession with ‘brum cars’. Anything with wheels is a car to him: scooter, train, the vacuum cleaner… though that’s minor detail when you’re just turned two. The latest addition to our car collection is the BRIO Push & Go Racer. BRIO has been a household name for many years, and while we …
BabyBjorn One Outdoor Baby Carrier
The BabyBjorn One Outdoor carrier is suitable from newborn to approximately three years old, and we have used it at different stages with Squidge. He is just turned two now and not really a fan of being worn anymore, preferring to follow his curiousity wherever it may take him. Unfortunately for him, following a toddler …
Children’s Fashion: Leggings by The Princess and the Frock
I have been wanting to run a children’s clothing series on the blog for a while, but I never seemed to find the time until now. Squidge was recently invited to be a brand ambassador for The Princess and the Frock, and we couldn’t be more excited! What better catalyst than that to make me …
Silentnight Safe Nights
Now that Squidge is a bit older and has well outgrown his baby sleeping bags, I thought it was high time he had some proper bedding. He’s almost two now so long gone are the days of feet-to-foot. He’s a proper wriggle bum in his cot and so anything I put on him soon gets …
Review: Red Kite Push Me 2U Stroller
When we took the boys to Florida, we didn’t want to take our main pram. It’s a travel system and although we only use the main pram part of it now and wouldn’t need any attachments, it’s a bit bulky to be taking through an airport and I was worried it wpuld get damaged in …
Tips for camping with a baby
Whenever we go camping we play a little game of ‘how much can we squeeze into the car’. We don’t really rough it when we camp. It’s more like glamping really, truth be told. Our tent set up involves electric hook up, a carpet and shelves for clothes. Imagine then if you will, adding to …
