Fussy eaters- I’m far from an expert on the topic, because I hazard to say that I don’t have fussy eaters. Generally I follow a no BS strategy to eating with my kids: You eat what you’re given or there’s nothing else. They are also given a wide range of foods; we cook and adapt [...]
. It’s always exciting to get presents! When a new baby arrives it’s a bit like Christmas. The postman and visitors arrive with all sorts of goodies. It’s no different whether it is baby number one or number three. We’ve got some lovely presents for Mini Man (and some for me and Littlins too)- clothes, [...]
. The original title of this post was one week on, but then another week past without me getting computer time to finish it. It’s amazing how quickly time flies and how moments last forever at the same time. Over the past week we have experienced both: The days just whizz past, yet I will [...]

. . This summer we had planned a long stay with my parents in Hungary, where it get very hot, with high UV radiation. Both Littlins have sensitive skin, so I have to choose the sun cream very well. They have had some nasty rashes before from some brands. In gearing up for the summer [...]
. . Now I know not everyone will want to start potty train at 6 months, like I did. So I asked Emma, the Real Supermum (http://therealsupermumblog.com) to share her tips for potty training in this guest post. Emma is mum to 6 children, yes you read it right SIX children aged 1, 2, 3, 8, [...]
. . Ah Potty training…an age old topic with parents, how and when to toilet train your children. I had few preconceived ideas about toilet training before having children. In fact, I don’t think I had even changed a nappy on a real child before having Little Miss, let alone thought about how to get [...]
