Last week our baby girl turned six years old… I heard a quote recently about parenting; “The days are long but the years are short” and this feels so true right now as I look at my daughters and how big they seem. With Georgie turning eight in a handful of weeks, it’s hard to …
We first noticed that Lydia’s left eye had a tendency to wander outwards when she was just a toddler, and her monitoring & treatment starting when I stubbornly sat in my GPs office insisting on a referral to get her seen by a specialist. Since then, we have visited the Eye Department at the excellent …
Lydia is going to be four on the 27th Feb… in just one week. It seems a bit unreal that our youngest girl is almost four! She is really looking forward to her birthday party, which we are doing for the weekend after her birthday. It’s just going to be a small group of little …
On Saturday, a week after she turned three, Lydia had a few friends over to our house for a little birthday party. More like an overgrown play-date with pass the parcel & party snacks, really! At such a young age I really don’t think you need to spend buckets of money on elaborate parties for kids, …
Lydia turned three on Saturday. Doesn’t time fly?! It certainly doesn’t seem that long since I was announcing her arrival, looking all tiny & cute (although not too tiny – she came out looking three weeks old already!). She had a very busy, very fun, birthday. We got up early and spent the day at …
Both my little girls have been poorly the second half of this week, and so I haven’t been able to get much done the last few days – rightly so, my time has been spent looking after my girls instead of working or blogging. Don’t even get me started on the state of my inbox …
A few weeks ago, I emailed some of the companies I have worked with over the last three years. Brands and PRs that I have reviewed for, and companies I have been proud to be an ambassador for. I was emailing to ask for support in the form of prize donations, for my youngest daughter’s …
I can’t believe that the first half term of Georgie’s school life (not to mention Lydia’s first half term of pre-school) is almost over! She has just 4 days left and then it is the half term holiday, and the girls and I will be chilling out for a week, probably doing some baking, and …
For several months now we have noticed that Lydia’s left eye drifts outwards and I took her to the GP a few months ago to ask for a referral to get it checked. Although the GP was pretty dismissive about the whole thing, telling me she was too young for them to be bothered with …
To say we have a relaxed attitude to potty training Lydia is an understatement. With Georgie, we fretted slightly that she wasn’t trained early enough, we tried pull ups, choose your own potty outings, potty picture-reveal-when-you-wee stickers, reward stickers, books about toilet training, the occasional chocolate button bribes, character panties, dry like me pads, and …
