Being a mum to a new baby can be very isolating. I try and go to groups and make plans to meet friends but if I’m honest it is much easier to stay at home. Archie doesn’t sleep very well and is up a lot in the night. By the time the morning arrives I am exhausted and even the school run is a challenge. He also screams constantly when he is in the car and by the time we [click here to read on]
I used to say that I never won anything. I always enter raffles and I love playing bingo but I never used to win. This all changed when I went to watch Bob’s nativity. She played a camel and she was a little superstar! We had all been asked to bring in something to contribute to a hamper for the raffle prize. I was supposed to take in some meringues. Bob was very unwell the week before the performance and [click here to read on]
We all love Shaun The Sheep in our house. We love Wallace & Gromit and even Bow will sit and watch Timmy Time. Following the success of Shaun The Sheep: The Movie, the loveable sheep has a new DVD out today. I have copy of Shaun the Sheep The Farmer’s Llamas DVD and a book of the same story to giveaway to one of my lovely readers. This looks so much fun and I can’t wait to see it!

Bob loves Bing! I keep thinking she will grow out of it soon but she still loves to watch the DVD. I know that Bow will love it too when he is older so I am sure Bing will be in our lives for several years. Bing is a lovable, preschool rabbit and the programme follows his adventures. A new DVD, Bing: Surprise Machine And Other Episodes, has been released today and to celebrate I have 3 copies of the [click here to read on]
When Bob was a baby we went to Menorca. It was hard work as she was quite unsettled with the heat and the different food. We were in a hotel that was advertised as child friendly but, as it was out of season, the entertainment hadn’t started and the hotel was full of elderly couples. If Bob started to cry we would get funny looks from people and it made us very uncomfortable. We came home vowing not to go [click here to read on]
I have a lovely Christmas giveaway for your little ones! Bob used to love In The Night Garden. Upsy Daisy was her favourite character and she was always singing the songs from the programme. I know that there are many little Igglepiggle fans out there and I have the perfect giveaway for them! I have a lovely bundle containing a festive ‘In the Night Garden: Everybody Loves Christmas!’ board book from Penguin Books and a 3 DVD box set of [click here to read on]
My health visitor keeps telling me to make sure I get some time to myself. That is much easier said than done! Michael does his best and tries to take Bow off my hands for a while but he is a bit of a mummy’s boy. When I do get a moment I like to attempt to have a relaxing bath. This is also easier said than done. Bob has a sixth sense and the moment I run the bath [click here to read on]
