I have written before about Oliver enjoying ‘helping’ with the housework – well he started getting very frustrated because he wanted to use the vacuum cleaner when I needed to use it. I’m happy to let him have a go once I’ve finished, but sometimes I’m in a little bit of a hurry so I […]
My partner was actually home so we decided to take Oliver to the park together. He was having a great time and went on the swings a few times, played on the seesaw, climbed up the steps and down the slide (after numerous mentions from daddy that mummy has taught bad habits by letting him […]
Oliver loves dancing so we often have the music channels or the radio on so that he can have a little boogie while he plays. My partner says he loves a song with a ‘grimey bass line’, he bops away to a lot of hip hop, r&b and similar music, so when a slow song […]
Oliver is now having one nap a day but timings of that nap are very random. Sometimes it’s early, sometimes late. Sometimes it is just as I make lunch! So when Oliver started asking for milk and cuddles I thought it must be nap time and settled down on the sofa to get him to […]
For the most part, fathers day was pretty mediocre. My partner was working and Oliver had thrown my phone behind our (very heavy) sofa so I even missed the call from my dad. We were expecting my partner home around 9, but really I thought it would probably be later, because it usually is. When […]
I delivered the cake to the hotel and was asked to stay. One of my closest friends in the South works there and is great with Oliver – who I had with me – so we decided to stay for a little while. There was free Prosecco on offer, and what can I say, free […]
My employer pre baby contacted me last week to ask if I could make a cake for ‘Celebrate Service’ week – an IHG hotels initiative where for one week of the year all around the world the bosses show their appreciation for the hard work of their employees. I really love baking but rarely get […]
We will ignore the fact that I am only just getting to bed because Oliver had a 5pm nap after not really having a nap this afternoon – for some reason he just wouldn’t go down – and focus on the fact my wonderful other half gave me a lie in this morning! I will […]
My partner works a lot. He runs his own business and he works in the events industry so the hours are long and work isn’t guaranteed. He accepts virtually every job that he can so I really cherish the time that he has at home, especially when he has time to play and have fun […]
Summer is a coming, or is it already here? Anyway Oliver needed new clothes as everything he has was bought around Christmas time so it’s really warm. We needed shorts and t shirts so I placed an order to H&M a whole month ago and it finally arrived! The shorts are really cute and he’s […]
