Holiday

Looking for advice! I am finally thinking about going abroad on holiday with my husband and 18 month old, probably in may so he will be 20 months old at a push. I've always found an excuse not to go, because I've been too worried about routines etc. I still feel the same, I don't want to interrupt his routine but I ...

Tricycle or balance bike for a 2year old

Hey Mamas What’s are your views on a tricycle and a balance bike, does your little one have either, I’m stuck on which one to get my 2 year old - he’s not a very confident but he’s showing an interest in other children’s bikes/scooters/trikes etc.

What *big* toys do your 14-15 monthers love?

I'm due with my second in May, and I want to get my first something special that we'll give her when baby arrives. She is 14 months old at the moment, and she'll be 15-16 months depending on when I deliver. She's a big climber, so I've been considering getting something to help her explore that, but I'm not sure wh...

Quiet time activities

So my son used to be good at staying in bed for quiet time or he'll take a nap if he's feeling up to it. But lately he's been running out of his room to find me to either play or read with him. But this time is sacred to me. I need this time for myself to reset, take a break or food prep done for dinner. So I'm ask...

A new pain unlocked 💥🏎️🏁

Almost died this morning slipping on a hot wheels truck in the dark 🫠 I used to think Lego was the painful toy to tread on but hot wheels takes the prize. Has anyone got any cool storage ideas for their kid’s cars? The cuter the better, I’m thinking of a display at toddler height that they can enjoy and still play…

Those that are going abroad this year are you bringing a pram?

My little boy hasn’t been in a pram since he turned 2. We use a buggy board at times as he has a younger brother. We are going to Spain in June. We will have a pram with us and my thinking is if he does get tired he can sit in his little brother’s pram🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

How are you guys getting projects done with babies and toddlers?

I have a 7 month old and if I’m not watching her I’m exhausted trying to get rest. Any tips on how I can carve out time to do projects? If I try while she’s around she just wants to get into my stuff.

Help a crazed mama out😵‍💫

I’ve legit changed her first birthday theme five times now as I’m so indecisive, it’s between Winnie the Pooh or Disney princesses. What do we think? The Winnie the Pooh invitation I had already customized and ordered, but again I’m indecisive.

Adolescence on Netflix, though....

Brilliant acting. Scary but factual commentary on modern society. In one part, it mentions influence of Andrew Tate who's been shown support by the likes of Jordan Peterson, Russel Brand, Donald Trump. Don't let Trump be your kid's role model. Though the series isn't directly about him, he is a lightening rod fo...
