Our Lillie is no shrinking violet, in a family of boys she has a lot to put up with but she certainly gives as good as she gets.
It only feels like yesterday that I was patting my growing bump wondering who the little person was inside was going to be. Boy, girl, blonde, brunette, redhead, brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes . . . it was all a mystery and very exciting. So it’s hard to believe that already we have reached … Read more
I swear I am a magnet for horrible children, well perhaps not so much me but my children are (not horrible, magnets I mean!). This morning we visited our local Soft Play centre to meet up with some friends and their children. Our boys are all 18 months old now so we were able to … Read more
It is almost one year since we began Potty training with Little Bean and she did amazingly well, within 2-3 weeks she had got it sorted in the daytime and within 2 months was also out of nappies at night. We were so proud of her and she was extremely proud of herself. All has … Read more

For the past two to three weeks I have been finding Little Bean increasingly hard work and I honestly just don’t know how best to tackle her anymore. I know that children go through phases, I know that I have had tough times with her before and we have come through them and I know … Read more
People always tell you that your child is going through another ‘phase’ don’t they? Well I think Little Bean is going through the pooh phase at the moment as she seems to be obsessed with the stuff. Thankfully she isn’t so gross that she wants to touch it or anything but she mentions it in … Read more
I’m pretty sure that this is a stage that most children go through, although I don’t remember Curly ever being frightened in the night. With Curly once he was asleep, he was asleep until the morning.
