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]
I think that Bob’s sleeping habits are even annoying her! Look what she pulled off the book shelf this morning! I couldn’t believe it. Still laughing! ;o) I thought that she had managed to sleep for 2 hours in the early hours of this morning until I realised that my phone had automatically added an hour. Oh well.
The classic that I am going to share with you this week was first broadcast in 1979. It is about a family who relocate to the countryside. Before they even reach their accommodation they meet a peculiar fellow who lives in a field. He is made of straw and he is famous for wanting ‘A cup o’ tea an a slice o’ cake.’ That’s right, it’s Worzel Gummidge.

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]

She loves seeing her Grandma and Granddad and she enjoys playing games with them through the magic of Skype. Occasionally I have to nip and get something and I leave Bob listening to my mum. This is where the terrible twos creep in. ;0) [click here to read on]
As my husband was working on Sunday we pretended that it was Mothers Day on Saturday. We had such a lovely day! It started with the delivery of some flowers and a balloon. I was then presented with a gorgeous card (which Bob had written in herself) and a charm for my Pandora bracelet. Bob had chosen the charm! Her favorite toy is a pink, musical teapot and my husband said that she rang him last week, when he was at [click here to read on]
I thought that I would show you some of my creations. I will show them to you in chronological order then, hopefully, you will be able to see how I improve. ;o) I’ll start with a Christmas cake that my husband and I made in 2009. To say he has never made anything before, I think he did really well. He made the Snowman and the Igloo. The following year I was asked to make some cupcakes for my brother [click here to read on]
