The Potty Diaries - Days 7,8,9 & 10

Thursday 1st August (Day 7)Today we spent a lovely day fruit picking, picnicking and paddling with our friends. We had such a lovely day! I will tell you all about it soon. Bob was really good at using her potty before we left the house but when we were out and about things were too exciting to think about going to the toilet. She had a couple of accidents and told me when she was having them. When we returned [click here to read on]

Fun Photo Fun - 2 Years Old

I love visiting the beach. There is something amazing about a never ending horizon. It reminds me of just how big the world is and how tiny we are in comparison. Watching my daughter and my niece playing on the beach made me wonder, if the world seems huge to me how big must it seem to a 2 year old? If you have been having fun with photography, editing or you’ve photographed something fun, please link up below. If [click here to read on]

School Holidays Vs. Working Parents - Guest Post

It’s wonderful to work from home, as those of us that are lucky enough to do so I am sure will agree.  No more nine to five, lunch when you want to, walk the dog when you want to.  But what about the school holidays?  Just how do you mix the freedom and relaxed routine when the kiddies are bounding around?  Do you give in and pay a child minder (expensive) or make the best of being a freelancer and [click here to read on]

The Potty Diaries - Day 6

Wednesday 31st July (Day 6) This morning when we got up Bob’s pull up was dry. I have no idea how she managed this! I had been to the toilet 3 times since going to bed. I have got into a bad habit. Every time Bob wakes up I go for a wee just in case as I would hate to wake up needing a wee when Bob was sleeping. I’m still shocked that my 2 year old daughter has [click here to read on]

Me & Mine - A Family Portrait Project

I still have baby brain. I am hoping that I can use it as an excuse until Bob’s 18th birthday. I now have another problem. Potty brain! It’s similar to baby brain but it is a bit more traumatic. Last night I dreamt that I pooed in my pyjamas in public! When I received an e mail from Lucy (the brains behind the Me & Mine Project yesterday I gasped! I realised that I hadn’t taken my photo for August! [click here to read on]

Fun Photo Fun - At The River

A few weeks ago we took our caravan to Sherwood Forest Caravan Park for a few days. Our caravan has not moved for a while so we thought it would be a good idea to have a trial run there before going further a field. One evening Bob and her daddy had nipped back home for something and I got a rare few minutes alone with my camera at the side of the river. It was very relaxing! If you [click here to read on]

The Potty Diaries - Days 4 & 5

Monday 29th July (Day 4) Today we demoted the duck potty to the dolls and only used the larger potty. Bob seemed much more settled on this one and would sit comfortably on it for quite a while. When Bob woke up I sat her on her potty and we read some stories together. I hoped that she would wee on her potty and realise that it wasn’t that bad after all. 3 books later and Bob was bored. We [click here to read on]
