Baby Led Weaning: First Steps Onto Solids

July 25, 2017

Someone once said to me that your baby will decide when they’re ready to do something.  At the time I thought, how does that even work?  We’re given all these guidelines and advice telling us when to do this and how we should hold off from […]

Feeding Baby On The Go: The Yoomi Self Warming Bottle

June 2, 2017

Feeding a baby is tough business; whether you breast or formula feed, sometimes you just can’t escape the stress and tears at baby’s dinnertime.  Bottle feeding was the natural choice for my family but I never expected it to be the drama it is.  Since becoming a […]

Managing Labour Pain With Babycare Elle TENS

March 23, 2017

Pain control is one of the biggest concerns of any birth plan.  This was most certainly true for me, when throughout my own pregnancy I had this huge fear of not being able to cope with the overwhelming pain of childbirth.   My extreme period pain experience, […]

Yes, Miscarriage is Something We Should Talk About

August 12, 2015

Since the day we learned we lost our baby, it seems all we see is babies.  When you’ve gone from being a first time expectant parent to grieving the premature loss of your baby, you notice all the adverts with babies in, every single passing pushchair and […]

Rain doesn’t stop play around here 🤪 🌧️ Rain doesn’t stop play around here 🤪 🌧️ 🌈 We’ve put our @englishheritage membership to good use and visited SO MANY places over the summer holiday. There’s been new pop badges released which Reuben has enjoyed collecting ALL of!  He’s also done the various trails which have been fun, and he achieved the coveted 2nd, 4th and 6th visit badges completing his summer ‘passport’. I think he’s chuffed!

So here’s yesterday’s day of play - Helmsley castle. Helmsley was my late Dad’s birthplace and stomping ground. Can’t visit here without feeling that connection. It threw it down with rain before the most glorious rainbow came out. 😌 🌈

Still on the school holiday adventure train with l Still on the school holiday adventure train with loads of photos to share from days out places, so just gonna dump yesterday’s shenanigans right now. 

A visit to the National Space Centre in Leicester, on our way back from a Legoland trip. 🚀 

This place was awesome! A bit of an information overload (I found) but it was all so interesting. Reubs loved the interactive bits like the mini Hadron Collider and a Q&A screen that went through the mathematical distances between us and each part of the universe.  Mind blowing stuff. We had a late lunch literally beneath a massive rocket which was pretty cool and finished off with a ‘sky at night’ show in the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium. Could’ve spent longer as it was great, however it could be improved too. Some of the displays could do with updating in terms of ‘00s aesthetics and silly bits about girls being made of stardust and then the alien bit is a bit dubious. And I definitely think there’s room for more artefacts, like it’d be amazing to see moon rock or something from space, or even see what life is like in the international space station. How do they wash in space? Do they grow plants? That’d be interesting.

Has anyone else been here?  What did you think of it? 🤔 We’ll definitely return but not sure if it’s worth the 2hour drive on its own when there’s The Centre for Life in Newcastle with a very good space area.

Now that’s what I call a holiday! 🏝️👙☀ Now that’s what I call a holiday! 🏝️👙☀️
Exciting, first time thrills, hot, SO HOT, breath-taking, nausea-inducing, amazing, beautiful, sweaty and a terrifying experience all in one. So many thoughts and takeaways from our first proper family holiday (never been anywhere longer than 3 days, never abroad). The Greek island of Rhodes was an experience alright. Think I need to write a blog about this one! But yes, the post-holiday come down is happening, I’m a bit sad, and I’ve LOADS of photos to share. 😄
