After Isla’s recent antics of playing up at bedtime, chatting, singing & purposely getting her legs ‘stuck’ in the cot bars or throwing her pillow out so that she can shout for help, we decided yesterday that it was time for Operation Tire out Toddler. With that in mind, we headed to the coast (Southport) to [...]

Well, we all surivived hosting our first proper children’s party – and I am happy to report that the star of the show had a fabulous time too! I blogged a few weeks ago about preparation for Lilly’s 4th birthday party, and the stresses of who to invite and how many. The party was held [...]

This year, as Lilly turns four, is the first time we will be hosting a ‘proper’ birthday party for her – you know, the type where we invite other children who aren’t family. We’ve chosen to take up the offer of a party package at one of the local soft play places that we like the [...]

We have just returned from another really lovely break at Center Parcs. This time, we wanted to experience the Winter Wonderland they do each year, as the first part of our build-up to Christmas. We had booked plenty of lovely Christmassy activities for Lilly to do, including Christmas pottery painting, a Santa and Snowman hunt [...]

We made a fantastic discovery at the weekend – Windmill Animal Farm in Burscough. My mum stumbled across the place and thought the girls would like it so we took them on Saturday and had an absolutely brilliant time! The weather forecast for the weekend was good, but when we got up in the morning the [...]

Last week we enjoyed another lovely week at Center Parcs – I think this is the fifth time we’ve been in the last three years.

Last week we spent Monday to Friday at Center Parcs in Cumbria – Whinfell Forest. We are big Center Parcs fans, and have been twice to Elveden Forest (East Anglia) and once to Sherwood Forest (Nottingham) since Lilly was 10 months old. This was our first time at Whinfell – Elveden being our favourite so [...]

I took Lilly to her first ever Tumble Tots session on Monday. It’s something I’ve wanted to take her to for a while, but working full time never got the chance, and when I started maternity leave we were going to start but then she came down with the chicken pox. Lilly isn’t a very [...]
