This Week Baby I Promise….
Spent a lovely Sunday afternoon yesterday at a christening with lots of lovely mummies, thanks Dom :). As ever, felt great to have a collective rant, especially over cake. General consensus is that parenting is tricky. Some things come naturally, others will take a while, and some you may be doomed to be forever rubbish at.So, have decided that I will aim to do one thing better for W each week. Monday morning seems a good time to start so......This week baby I promise....to dress you more often in proper clothes rather than keeping you in baby-grows because it is ...

Highchair Hopes
After Baby W stared hungrily on at mealtimes from just 4 months old we began weaning fairly early on. By 6 months he was ready for finger food and he just loves feeding himself. At this stage we found his Bumbo seat with attachable tray ideal. I could plonk a home made rusk in front of him and he was happy playing with this for a good half hour, enabling me to get stuck into the washing up. Also really handy when visiting the grandfolks. Once he got a fair bit bigger, and much much stronger a problem arose. He learnt how to detach the tray himself and said tray, ...
Belly-busting countdown…36 days left.
Holy moley have just realised have only 36 days left until our first beach holiday post Baby W's arrival.....and I'm still fat. Fat and flabby. At least around the tummy area. Somehow have managed to lose enough weight from almost all other areas, boobs obviously not included, that appear almost as they did pre-pregnancy but NOT my tummy. I have a 'MUMMY TUMMY'. How is that really a kinder way of saying 'FLABBY BELLY'? All my own fault. From about four months gone a meal just wasn't a meal without a pudding and should I manage to eat just two Cadbury Twirls ...
So what the blog is this all about then?
The honest answer would be that I am not really sure. A friend of mine recently introduced me to the world of blogging and thought this may be fun. Being a bit of an A-type personality though decided that I need to have a purpose along with my general ramblings.Being a relatively new mum to an 8 month old son and returning to work part time I have found the last few months a bit of a roller-coaster. The highs have been unbelievable, the lows heartbreaking and the in-betweens mostly hilarious and generally messy. One thing that has been a huge help from the very ...
Aaaaaah…..the stacking cups!
As a more experienced Mummy recently pointed out on seeing the above pic of Baby W, "Aaaaaah, the stacking cups. Single most useful toy ever invented." How right she was. I picked up a set one week ago from the Early Learning Centre for just 6 GBP and have been worth every penny. Without these today alone the washing machine would not have been emptied, lunch would have been burnt to a cinder and the delivery man from Amazon may have actually kicked in the front door. No mummy should be without them!MOO Score for Stacking CupsEase of use: ★★★★★Value for ...
