Posted on May 7, 2018 by jenny

I have two water babies and am always on the lookout for toys they can play with in the bath. They still love bath time just as much as they did when they were babies. It’s also a great way to unwind after a busy day or weekend. This weekend we’ve been visiting my mum…

Bath crayons and wet floors {bath time with kids]

Posted on October 18, 2016September 1, 2017 by jenny

I’ve mentioned a few times about our lovely new kitchen. It’s dragged on a little but we’ve had a final push this weekend, painted the ceiling and walls and tiled the floor. We’ve managed to squeeze in about 90% of everything and it’s lovely. It’s easy to get used to loose cupboard doors and cluttered…

Sweet dreams

Posted on June 20, 2013November 9, 2020 by jenny

Both my children have had eczema. Fortunately they’ve grown out of as they’ve got older, except for poor Little Sis who has small patches of it behind her knees.

Making bath time fun

Posted on June 10, 2012April 28, 2013 by jenny

I often find bath times can be quite stressful with two children. Lately I’ve been putting the baby in her bath in the big bath with the toddler. This way they both have a bath and seem to enjoy each others’ company. The baby loves kicking her feet and splashing and the toddler loves playing…

Posted on December 19, 2010April 22, 2012 by jenny

We’ve now been using our lovely beginning….bath products at every bath time for the last week. Edward is taking his responsibilities as a Maclaren Kid Tester very seriously and we’ve been looking at each product, having a chew on the packaging and smelling each bottle before use. Bath time is usually quite simple as we…
