Prior to having our son J, my parents very kindly bought us a JVC HD Everio video camera on which we spent hours recording footage of our little man as he grew before our eyes. Back then almost nine years ago the JVC video camera was top of the range, it was fairly bulky and required many cables to either charge, connect to a computer or send images to a television screen. I kept the camera along with its cables and many cards within a rather large bag which I carried almost everywhere with me. It’s hard to believe how technology has …

Welcome to my first #LittleLoves post for 2018, if you haven’t read my blog before now then I’ll quickly explain that #LittleLoves is a weekly linky hosted by Morgana over at Coffee Work Sleep Repeat reflecting upon six (or more) things which fall under set headings that you have loved throughout the week.

Despite being busy …
There was once a time when I lived with a JVC camera wedged in my hand as I followed J around in a similar fashion to the paparazzi. When you’ve just got the one child its easy to focus your attentions upon them and recording their every moment seems completely acceptable. However, when you have two children, a husband, a dog, a part-time job and a house to keep clean along with all of the other day-to-day bits and bats you barely have time to fart never mind to shoot videos. I used to upload videos religiously onto youtube recording each and every one …
As you know, kids are like magnets when it comes to tablets (or in our house IPads). I know that our two little ones love nothing more than to earn their tablet time and once they have hold of said technology, they are reluctant to give it up for love nor money.
