Why we love kids clubs.I saw an influencer post about using the kids club in a hotel the other day and cue a whole load of negative comments... in the realm of dumping your children with strangers and not loving your children if you leave them in kids clubs. Well I must say I find that attitude v...

Mr S and I have always loved our holidays and we used to do a whole range of things from UK staycations, to city breaks, beach holidays as well as more adventurous trips such as going to Japan, the Atacama desert and safari. When I was pregnant with Oscar I was worried that would be the end of re...

Mr S absolutely loved the skin to skin moments with Oscar and Noah after birth. He said he found it relaxing and therapeutic and took every opportunity to have those skin to skin moments. Its no surprise as skin to skin contact actually increases oxytocin in the baby and father. The love hormone ...

When I first heard I was having another boy, I assumed he would look exactly like Oscar. I was really surprised when actually Noah looked nothing like Oscar. Well fair enough, he his own person. From newborn, to one year old the two boys look nothing alike. Everyone says Noah looks like Mr S and ...

But the thing about parenting is when youre ill or going through a hard time mentally, physically or emotionally you still have to show up and soldier on through eve...

There are lots of pros and cons of giving a dummy and theres a school of thought that they protect against SIDS however after my experience with Oscar I decided I would never give Noah dummy. This is because as the baby sleeps the dummy falls out of their mouth which wakes them up. With Oscar I w...

Ours is very @skiphop . Now that Noah is 12 months and crawling and trying to walk he is nearly out of...
