I don’t talk a lot about my past on this blog. It is very much about my “now” instead. This blog is about my children, my husband, and my life at home with them. It is about our ordinary every day life, and how much I love it. I don’t talk about the ex-boyfriends, my …
It was Georgie’s second birthday on Wednesday, and we had a lovely chilled out day. First up was our local soft play centre. My friend Gayle came over with her 6 month old Mya, and we met up with two of my friends from toddler group with their kids. The three toddlers had a great …
Georgie will be two next week, so it is with a slight sense of shame that I admit that before our trip to Suffolk last week we had never taken her swimming. We do have our reasons – a combination of her being terrified of water until recently (bath time is still 50% fun times …
While we were staying with my parents, we spent the day at the seaside, and took the Graco Evo Mini for a spin on Summerleaze beach at Bude, North Cornwall. The Graco Evo Mini performed very well on the beach, we were quite impressed. On the damp sand the pushchair was very easy to push …
While we were down in Cornwall last week, James asked my parents if they would babysit Georgie for an evening so that he could take me out for a date. It had been so long since we have been out for a meal together without our toddler in tow that I’d almost forgotten what it …
Last week while staying with my parents, we took the opportunity to test the Graco Evo Mini “off-roading” at the Tamar Otter Sanctuary, North Cornwall. This video shows the Evo Mini being pushed along level (but rough!) track, and up and down a steep hill. Our conclusions? We thought that the Graco Evo Mini coped …
On Saturday morning we all piled into a couple of cars and headed over to Buckland Abbey, a National Trust property about an hour away from my parent’s house, to take part in the Cadbury Easter Egg Trail they were putting on all weekend. Buckland Abbey is a beautiful 700-year old house in Devon, and …
We are currently in Cornwall at my parents, and having a great time. We drove down late on Thursday, and so decided to have a quiet day on Good Friday as everyone was very tired from the late night! Mum & Dad (aka Grandma & Grandad) live in a small village in a very rural area, so …
I am finally feeling more like a human being today after being ill all week, and so we decided we couldn’t miss out on a chance to take Georgie out for a walk in the snow while it was (relatively) nice weather. James, in his current role of over-protective & very bossy husband, decided that …
After Georgie behaved herself remarkably well when we had to sit around the hospital for over 3 hours yesterday afternoon (which meant skipping her nap) I felt like she deserved a detour to the park this morning when we popped out to the shops. Plus, it had the added bonus of making me feel like …
