It's taken me so long to write this post. This is something we've been dealing with since July this year and will continue to endure for many more months. The Problem Matthew has what is commonly known as a cross bite/under bite. This means his upper teeth sit behind his lower teeth when his mouth … Continue reading Orthodontic issues and the way forward
Well, it looks like I have to plan a lockdown birthday. It's Ethan's birthday soon and like any other soon to be 6 year old (wait, nope. I don't think there's another like him) he knows exactly what he wants. The first thing to sort out are his gifts, as we need these couriered and … Continue reading Birthday Gift Ideas for a 6 year old
I grew up with Fisher-Price toys. I'm sure most of us did. I remember playing on one of those old school tv's when I was younger. Matthew used an activity table that we still own, 9 years later and Harper has a chatter telephone (one similar to one my sister had more than 30 years … Continue reading Fisher-Price Smartwatch – Review
Sigh, it's been 4 months since my last blog post. I just haven't had the mental capacity to find the right words. Even this post is a stretch for me. Today marks 100 days since we’ve been socially distancing. 100 days since the kids were last at school and had any interaction with other children … Continue reading 100 Days
There's a lot about having multiple kids that people don't tell you. Like how much fighting there will be, how loud they can be, how they care for each other and love on one another. They also learn from their siblings and I love that Matthew can read to his brother and sister. When Matthew … Continue reading Ella & Ziggy

It's almost Christmas, which is my favourite time of the year. The one thing I always need help with, is gifting ideas for everyone. I've put together a little list, with some help from Hasbro, of gifting ideas for kids. For ages 2 to 4 These are some of the toys I wouldn't mind getting … Continue reading Christmas gift list – kids
Black Friday is on 29 November this year. I'm not one to set my alarm for midnight so that I am the first to get into the specials. But what I always do is put items in my wishlists year round. This way, I always have access to the things I like (also, I have … Continue reading Superbalist Black Friday Showdown
Dear Diary is a little thing I used to do a while ago. It would be the safest way to let out my frustrations, anger, gratitude for people I won't/don't want to say it to face to face. It's also a way of getting things off my chest that is bothering me. Dear Daddy Thank … Continue reading Dear Diary
Do you love baking with your kids? Despite the mess that's bound to happen. Despite them wanting to do everything themselves. Despite the nagging of when will it be done. I know I enjoy baking with Ethan (as he's the only one that is willing to help out in the kitchen lol). When Tessa's Bakery … Continue reading Annie’s Baking Club *sponsored*
