One very cold Sunday morning a few weeks back we decided to take a drive over to Crosby beach and see Antony Gormley’s Another space. This is an installation of iron men sculptures on the beach. I’d been suggesting we visit for what feels like forever but we never got round to it. This particular […]

I love reading (and watching you tube videos) of what everyone is buying their babies so I thought I’d write a post of what I have bought for baby 2 so far. Since this is our second child we obviously have a lot of things from when the ladybird was a baby. However we do […]

I’m a bit late this week writing this. In fact it is 11:30 am Friday morning and we are just home from a busy morning of hospital scans and midwives appointments. The ladybird is happy playing with her duplo so I thought I’d join in with #littleloves. Read Despite picking out two books for me […]

It might feel like summer is over but we are still using sea shells in our play. As I mentioned in my holiday post the ladybird loved collecting beach “treasure”. I brought some of the shells home with us to use in our play. The first activity that came to mind where we could use […]

Last weekend we spent 3 amazing days camping at our first family festival. We attended the Just So festival at the Rode Hall Estate in Cheshire. I’m not sure when I first heard of Just So, probably when I started reading parenting blogs when I was pregnant, 3 years ago but ever since I have […]

A couple of weeks back we had a weekend camping in LLandudno. This was F’s first camping trip.

The campsite was […]
