Bargain Bubbles Sensory Play

Bargain Bubbles Sensory Play

It’s shocking just how much money us parents spend on random toys and general tat for our little ones. Here’s a little tip from me, why not save some pennies and lather up? Little ones love to look at the beautiful rainbow of colours which can be seen shimmering from the bubbles as they float by, they also enjoy the sensation of touching a bubble and the magical way in which they pop, join together and even bounce! Bubbles are a great way to create quick and easy sensory play. I personally love spending time with the kids blowing bubbles which they …

The A-Z Of Parenthood- The Toddler Years Edition

The A-Z Of Parenthood- The Toddler Years Edition

  A is for Age Gap because whether your children have one or six years between them, people seem to feel the need to comment upon your chosen age gap, whether it was chosen or not far that matter! B is for Brat because at some point during their life, you will refer to your child as one of these. C is for Clutter because having children means that your once minimalistic show-home that you were so proud of will become more alike to Toys R Us than the Next catalogue. Your living room will now consist of noisy, multicoloured lumps of plastic rather than colour …

The Accomplishment Parade

The past two days have been filled with accomplishments, I for one managed to tick off several items of my never-ending ‘to do’ list including arranging for a planner to visit our house to measure up and make plans for an extension. For the past two years we have been hoping to extend our house. We want to build over the garage to create an extra bedroom and en suite for ourselves, then move J into our room and E into J’s room to provide both kids with a bigger and better bedroom, as well as a small study for …

Living Arrows By The Beach

As promised, here I am again sharing my selected snapshots from the week as it’s Monday aka Living Arrows linky day. As I explained in my previous ‘LA’post, I will be sharing two of my favourite photos from the week each and every Monday. So here goes… It’s not often I manage to capture the kids together, whilst sometimes they may both feature in a shot, it’s very rare that they are still enough for long enough to snap a decent picture of together, never mind with them both looking towards the camera. This particular picture is not only one …

#LittleLoves Each And Every Friday From Here On In

#LittleLoves Each And Every Friday From Here On In

I really enjoy looking back and summarising over the events that have taken place throughout the week, I find it is often hard to narrow down the ‘best bits’ from the past seven days. Listing things under headers and categories tends to make things easier for me to remember. I have therefore opted to participate in a weekly #LittleLoves series which enables me to do precisely this! #Littleloves is a series hosted by Morgana, a parenting and lifestyle blogger who writes regularly upon her blog ‘coffeeworksleeprepeat’. #Littleloves gives bloggers like myself the chance to reflect upon the little things that they have ‘loved’ throughout …
