Everybody talks about it – the nesting instinct you get when you’re pregnant. I never really got it with Oliver. Maybe it’s because we were renting? I was working, we were moving to a bigger flat and had a room to put all of our crap in? Who knows. It just never hit me. It’s […]
Well this year with me being pregnant, we are taking a bit of a back seat for Christmas. My in-laws house is fully functioning (mostly) once again and so we don’t even have anybody staying with us this year. It’s going to be SO quiet – the cats will love it! However, we are still obviously playing […]
Just in case you missed the baby news on instagram, facebook or twitter – we are expecting baby number 2!! So I thought I’d kick off the baby related posts with something a bit light hearted. A list of all of the things I forgot during my first trimester. It actually got so bad that […]
**This post contains affiliate links** Mattel recently released a new toy – Hot Wheels Roto Revolution. We were sent one to review. As it is Oliver’s 5th Birthday really soon we saw it as a great opportunity to see how he plays with toys that are age 5 and up. He’s recently started showing […]
**Post Contains Affiliate Links** I was recently asked to review the Hot Wheels Track Builder Stunt Bridge. Hot Wheels are not quite my cup of tea, but I figured R would love it…oh, and of course Oliver! Oliver got his first Hot Wheels when he was around 2 or 3, he really enjoyed it but it […]
This week Oliver has moved on to a new favourite book. He’s been a bit tired this week so hasn’t wanted anything too upbeat and hasn’t been joining in. He picked up a bit of a cold from preschool and it seems to have really taken its toll on him. So this week, Oliver’s book […]
Oliver gets an obsession over one book at a time. Often it’s a weekly transition so I thought I’d start documenting his ‘book of the week’ choice. Just a quick little synopsis of which book he’s enjoying and what he likes about it. He’s just turned 4 and a half so his taste in […]
It is obviously no secret that Oliver was not planned. He was a surprise, a good one, but a surprise no less. I wrote about how I felt fertility guilt 5 years ago when I was pregnant with him. We were incredibly lucky that we didn’t have to think about trying to conceive. If we […]
Sometimes feminism gets a bad press. It’s confused with misandry – that’s a word I recently learned and it basically means ‘man-hating’ – the female version of misogyny. The fight for feminism is a fight for equality. Real feminism values men and not only understands male issues, but campaigns for them too. That’s important to […]
The lovely folks at Camp Wilderness and The Bushcraft Company invited us to a free taster day to learn all about what they offer at their summer camps. They’ll also be running more of the family days throughout the year. Oliver is still a bit young for their summer camps but he loves the outdoors, […]
