Tips for moving from cot to toddler bed
Tips on moving from a cot to toddler bed to make it a smoother transition, plus sharing our experience of how it went
Parenting
Everything parenting and family oriented. Milestones, our family, growing up
Chain saws – over and out
N seems to be over his chain saw incident from a couple of weeks ago. Well, I say ‘over’ the incident, obviously I expect him still to hate the sound of them if he’s close to them (similarly to public…
Fixing things and covering up
Toddler crafting and learning how to fix issues
Bashed up boy
Poor N’s had his biggest bump today. He was at nursery today, was running around outside, came charging up towards the open patio doors, tripped and went face first into the edge of the door frame. Ouch, I hear you…

Party gift etiquette
Having children means parties. Their own and other people’s (although so far we’ve avoided having a party for N – I reckon in future we’ll do it in the summer so we stand a better chance of getting decent weather…
