Things to say goodbye to in the third trimester

Everybody always warns you about the things you'll have to say goodbye to once you have kids. From romantic holidays to peaceful bathroom trips, the list of things that change post-baby is well documented, but not many people let you in on what things you'll start to say goodbye to when you're pregnant.

Lockdown mother’s day gifts

As we approach another Mother's Day in lockdown, it only seemed right to share a list of gifts your child can give to a mother or grandmother on this special day. We may not be able to go anywhere or do very much, but there's no reason children and even toddlers can't get creative or [...]

Valentines crafts and activities for toddlers

We're not usually big on Valentine's Day in our house - yes, we'll do the usual token cards and chocolates but normally it's not something we go big for like Easter or Halloween. However the past year (almost!) has been unlike any other and since we're still in a lockdown we're finding ourselves grasping to [...]

5 things to do in the second trimester

Its hard to believe we're past the halfway mark with baby M number 2. Time sure flies when you're pregnant in a pandemic!

Now that the morning sickness has subsided and I'm feeling more human (as human [...]

10 super easy elf on the shelf ideas

Its that time of year again, those pesky elves are off their shelves and causing full havoc again. I'm not going to lie, this year I actually planned out a different elf activity in advance for every day in December.

However, whether you're planning for your child to attend nursery as an infant, or from their state-funded place at age three, there [...]

Tyndrum Gruffalo Trail

We're a big fan of getting outdoors in our house, whether it's the park, zoo, trails or seasonal activities like fruit or pumpkin picking. Every little helps when it comes to fresh air and exercise, helping a little toddler burn off their energy.   I love when we discover new outdoor activities or places to [...]
