We booked our Olympic tickets when I was pregnant knowing we would be taking a toddler and a baby to the Olympics. We heard lots of conflicting reports that babies wouldn’t be allowed, prams would be prohibited, and as we didn’t want to carry the baby in a sling we’ve now arranged for her to…

Wood Green charity shops
We’ve lived in Wood Green in north London for the last 6 years but have only visited the handful of charity shops a couple of times. However, last week we popped into Oxfam and were rewarded with a haul! First up were two new-to-us Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs. There was no way the toddler…
A busy summer holiday
I’m quite pleased we seem to be surviving the school holidays <touch wood>. The weather hasn’t been too bad and we’ve had lots to do. We had a great Day out with Thomas, the Christening, trip to Legoland and I’m trying to keep the toddler busy with some structured activities and lots of free time…
Thomas the Tank Engine cupcakes
I looked at my toddler the other day and realised he was dressed head to foot in Thomas clothes – hat, jumper, tshirt, shorts, socks <sigh>. I love him to bits but his Thomas obsession is everywhere! Fortunately for him we were sent some brilliant sugarettes from JustBake who sell all kinds of cupcake decorations,…

Enjoying the London life
We had an amazing weekend. On Saturday we met up with friends and took the toddler to meet Thomas the Tank Engine, Mavis and those Troublesome Trucks at our favourite heritage railway. He had a brilliant time and only wanted to see Thomas, wasn’t fussed about any of the other activities going on! It was…
Thomas Steam ‘n Speed
The other week I was asked if the toddler liked Thomas. Only the biggest Thomas fan in Paisley Road, I answered. A couple of days later this turned up. Fisher Price very kindly sent him the new R/C Thomas Steam ‘n Speed with real working steam! It wasn’t too difficult to get out of the…
Give breakfast some colour
We were sent a (very large) box of the new limited edition Colour Me In Rice Krispies and a Bumper Colouring Case with 58 different pens, pencils, glitter glues and markers so the toddler and I could decorate the characters on the Rice Krispies box and personalise breakfast. Quite a long time ago the toddler…
Breakfast with Hipp Organic
We were invited to try out some of the latest products from Hipp Organic over breakfast at Bills in Covent Garden. I’m lucky that my 7 month old loves her food and is happy to try anything – perfect as Hipp Organic have introduced ten new yummy recipes! We’ve already tried out the new savoury…
