Ah what did we do before smartphones? I adore mine. It keeps all my information so I don’t have to remember everything all the time. I will admit to being a bit of a junkie when it comes to iPhone apps. I always have to try the latest greatest one to see if it’s the […]
Toddlin’ About: A Rainy Southbank Saturday
Any parent of an 18 month old will tell you that wearing those little legs out is key. Gone are the days when your Gizmo would just stay in one place and cuddle. Now they want to RUN or they turn into a gremlin. We are always on the lookout for toddler friendly places where he can […]
My Recent AHA Moment
I’m running a bit behind this week because I struggled with this prompt. Oh how I wrestled with it. Anyway, on with the show. Recently someone said to me that if I was going to continue being a working mum I would have to focus 100% on the office, because otherwise my split focus would […]
5 Do’s & 1 Don’t For Your Toddler’s EEG
EEG or Electroencephalography. Wow doesn’t sound any better when you write it out does it? I see the word electro which looks like electricity and I’m both picturing my little angel in an electric chair which I’m convinced will end with him wielding powers belonging to a Spiderman villain. We recently had to get an […]

Our village consists of my mummy group, our amazing pediatrician and lovely GP as well as our other friends and family. Whenever I need help I can rely on someone to know […]

It sounds a little hippy-dippy but unless someone’s choice was actually affecting other humans I just kind of meh-d and moved on with my life. I assumed that being a parent would be similar, everyone raises their own kids their […]
What’s in My Handbag: Mummy Edition
I hate to say a handbag changed my life – but wel, you get the picture. I rock two ThinkGeek HandBags of Holding – the black leather version is my work bag, and the regular taupe one is my ‘mummy’ handbag. I was going to take photos of everything as a flat lay but Bear […]
Mix Tape: Lullabies That Won’t Drive You Mental
Bear has always been really susceptible to sound, music in particular. Since he was very little he’s used the sounds of the ocean to help him sleep at night but when we are in the car, he has lullabies instead. I quickly discovered that traditional baby lullabies are either sickly cutesy sweet to the point where I just […]
Merry Blogmas: Wordless Wednesday – My Babies
Merry Blogmas: Birthday Reflections
Today’s blogmas topic was to share how I use social media for my blog but since I’m a bit of a blogging n00b I didn’t really have a lot to talk about, so I thought I would write something else. Today is my 33rd birthday and I don’t know about anyone else, but it seems […]
