My daughter Bob is 16 months old. She is walking confidently, running over confidently and she is starting to say several words. My heart gives a little leap every time she says something new. The other day when she was asked if she would like some more potatoes she answered, ‘Tatoes!’ in the cutest little voice! Imagine if that was the last word she learnt. Imagine if her development stopped and began to deteriorate. Imagine if she could no longer [click here to read on]
When I was contacted by Snapfish to ask if I would like to review their products I jumped at the chance! I have used their website before for photo prints and greetings cards and I have a lovely photo book from my wedding photos. When I looked at their products it was hard for me to decide which product to review. Eventually I decided on a photo canvas as I have so many photos of Bob and I would love [click here to read on]
I love going to see the illuminations in Blackpool! We used to go every year when I was younger. As my parents now live in Blackpool we still see them regularly. Bob had never seen them and I couldn’t wait to take her. We had a wonderful time! Bob loved looking at all of them but I think that she especially liked the trams and the Teddy Bears Picnic! The teddy bears used to be set in a big scene [click here to read on]
Is anyone else completely out of proportion since having a baby? I expected to put on weight during pregnancy but I didn’t expect this! I am currently about 4 lb’s heavier than I was pre pregnancy but this all seems to be on my tummy. The rest of me has gone back to how it was but I still seem to have a bump. My suspicions were confirmed when I was congratulated the other day. I told them that yes [click here to read on]
Last week, I was invited by the lovely Jennie to go and look around the new Kiddicare store in Nottingham. If I am honest I was a bit confused about what the day would involve. What was there to see and do in a store? Apparently everything! Kiddicare is much more than a store. It is more like a baby’s day out! We had a lovely day! The store has everything! Bob thought that she was on her holidays. I [click here to read on]
The time has passed when I can take gorgeous, natural photos of Bob. Now, whenever I produce the camera, she stares at it and shouts, ‘Cheese!’ As I am now going to have to work harder to capture my photographs, I decided to be really brave! I turned the dial to manual!!! I have worked with the shutter speed and aperture settings independently but this was the first time that I have controlled both. I wanted to create depth of [click here to read on]
I think I have created a monster! I have always let Bob play games on my phone and this has never been a problem. Last week I helped her to discover You Tube and already she is obsessed! I thought that it might be fun to watch some songs on the iPad with Bob. There are some great videos and we really enjoyed joining in with the actions. One day, when the iPad needed charging, I stupidly showed Bob that [click here to read on]
