Letterbox blankness
We don’t have a letterbox at our house or the farm. The postman just leaves the post with whoever’s around at the time, then it gets divvied up between the correct people when they show up or come and collect…

Dressing Boys
It’s astounding how many people go round calling children by ‘she’ when the child’s a boy even once they’re at toddler age. I can understand it more when they’re babies in unisex wear, and to a certain extent even if…
Childcare blocks
I find it insane the way red-tape often stops something worthwhile happening, that is something that is going to impact the community positively. And ultimately could help business and economics. Politicians have been agreeing to increase staff to child ratios…
Children disliking a shower
I’ve talked in great depth before about N and his previous love/hate relationship with baths and swimming. Thankfully now he loves both. But we’re still struggling with a shower. He will now agree to sit in the bath at one…
Trendy Tuesday – casual everyday wear

Garden fun
For a boy, N’s never really been that into balls. He loves wheels, but balls he’s not so fussed about. (And I’m talking about the sporty version there!) Last year he did really love his ball pit, but more about…
Swimming buddies
Usually at swimming it’s packed and chaos in the changing rooms. The school pool we use is great, but the changing rooms are about the size of my kitchen. There’s 10 in our Water Babies class usually, and with 30…
It’s a dog eat dog world
Or in the case of this toddler, not so much dog eat dog world as rabbit eat tiger world. N is obsessed at the moment with soft toys. He has a fair collection of them – only a couple teddies,…
