On Friday we went to see Exxopolis, the Luminarium that we helped to make during Mammasaurus Blog‘s Blog It For Babies challenge. I have tried to explain to people what a Luminarium is and I have failed. I thought that after I had seen the completed sculpture I would be able to describe it better but I was wrong. It is impossible to fully explain what it is as it is like nothing else! In a confused nutshell it is [click here to read on]

A Holiday Of Two Halves

The first few days of our holiday were a nightmare! I honestly think that it would be easier to go abroad with a baby who is a few months old than take one that has been weaned and is beginning to find their feet. At least when they are tiny their milk provides all of the nutrients that they need. I tried to feed Bob similar things to what she has when we are at home. This wasn’t easy, as, [click here to read on]

A Haven Holiday

We’re back!!! Laptop, how I’ve missed you! 😉 We have had a lovely time! I even had the odd day when I didn’t even think about blogging (sorry for swearing) so we must have been having lots of fun! If I am honest, at first, I was a bit scared. When we walked into the complex on our first night it was manic! I have never seen so many people and flashing lights! We soon adjusted to the madness though [click here to read on]

When Grandma & Grandad Came To Stay  (A Guest Post By Bob)

On Wednesday my Grandma and Grandad came to stay for a few days. They live in Lancashire and I see them lots on Skype but I love seeing them in real life once a month. When they arrived Grandma was really pleased, as Grandad had managed to get here without getting lost! That’s the first time he has managed that, even though Mummy and Daddy have lived here for 8 years. We had a lovely few days! On Thursday we [click here to read on]

Soft Play

Bob and her friend (who will be called Cyril for the purpose of this blog post) have recently discovered soft play! Their mums, sorry, they love it!!! The place that we go to is in Doncaster and it is called Astrabound. It has a separate section for toddlers and it is over 3 floors. There’s a giant ball pool, slides, tunnels, mirrors, rope bridges, bumps, roller things, spinning things and dangling things! (Those are the official technical terms!) As Bob [click here to read on]

Peter Rabbit's House!!!

Last week my husband booked some time off work and we decided to go away for the night. We looked into where we could go and tried to find somewhere that Bob would enjoy. I said that we needed a Disney hotel in this country but I never thought that we would get it. When my husband suggested Alton Towers I immediately thought that Bob would be too young. When I looked on the Internet I found out that the [click here to read on]

Our Funny Valentine

  As Bob was ill on February the 14th, we decided to postpone Valentines Day until Saturday. When I was planning Valentines Day, Bob was going to sleep in her cot for a couple of hours at the beginning of the night.  With this in mind, I planned a romantic indoor picnic.  I bought Pink Fizz and lots of goodies, including a giant chocolate pizza.  I had only meant to order a small one but I didn’t notice the size [click here to read on]
