Gosh, my girls are such bookworms! We can read a good 15 books a day with ease, as soon as we finish the one, they're ready with another one and I don't mind at all. It's very difficult for me to resist buying them new books and we're also very lucky to be sent a few...
One random Saturday morning I was scrolling away on Facebook, as one does, when I saw someone mention that a neighbourhood close by had planted and grown a little patch of sunflowers. Forever on the lookout for Instagrammable spots close by, I rounded up my sister and...
I'm so excited to finally get this post about our dollhouse makeover up, I know I've been promising it for a good few weeks now. Honestly, this was such a labor of love but worth every single blistered finger and late night. Both of the girls absolutely love playing...
My heart cannot handle that my baby girl is five years old, a whole handful! This time last year we were in hard lockdown, we weren't even able to go on a walk in our neighbourhood and so Aria had a very low key (but really lovely) birthday with just the 4 of us. This...
I've never been one to make a basket of goodies for special occasions (Christmas, Valentine's day, Halloween, etc) but somehow I ended up putting one together for Easter for the girls and I'm not hating it! It's quite easy to go OTT with these sorts of things (and I...
Our Maia papaya turned two years old... and of course we had a celebration! These days birthday parties look very different but to be honest, I'm kind of loving it and I don't know if I will ever go back to having a guest list a mile long. For Maia's little...
If there's one thing that I definitely don't plan on going minimal on, it's books for our girls. I feature us reading, them reading alone and to each other a lot and I always get asked about the books that we own... and while I'm definitely no expert, I thought that I...
Ah 2020, what a year you've been, definitely one we won't forget in a hurry! Despite it's ups and many downs, product wise it's been amazing and so I'm so excited for my Best of 2020 series, kicking off today with the kids version. There are no more babies in our...
There's no two ways about it, mom life (and dad life!) can be rough, but over the last 4 odd years, Dan and I have learnt thing or two about how to make parenting easier. These tips and tricks are just a few adjustments that we made in our day to day life, simple...
You all seem to love the toddler and baby approved recipes that I share over on Instagram every now and then and so I thought that I would share this recipe for veggie muffins. Both of my girls are really good about eating their vegetables but I’m always trying to add...
Call me boring but I kind of enjoy sticking to the "typical" Father's Day gifts... I mean who wouldn't enjoy some new cozy jammies and delicious snacks? Bearing that in mind, I tried to find some more jazzed up versions of these normal but oh-so-loved gestures in this...
Oh boy, this is something I was not looking forward to tackling! We've had day time potty training waxed for two years (read about how we got it right, over here) and night time potty trained for about a year now so I feel pretty confident in dishing out some tips...
I make no secret about it, our kids watch TV, honestly it's a lifesaver in our home some days. In saying that though, we are really picky when it comes to what Aria watches and so I wanted to share which TV programs for toddlers we love in our home, I think a lot of...
My gran used to say it to my mom, and now my mom says it to me “If the kids are giving you a rough time, just stick them in the bath” and let me tell you, it works wonders! On those rough lockdown days, I’ve popped the girls into the bath and after half an hour or so,...
As much as I love physically shopping (and of course window shopping!), there really is something wonderful about online shopping, top of the list of course is that you can do it from the comfort of your bed! Today I'm sharing my autumn online shopping edit: baby and...
Yay, I'm so excited that busy book month has begun and my first DIY busy book for toddlers post! Ever since I posted a picture on my Instagram stories of Maia playing with the busy book my mom made for Aria a few years ago, you all were desperate to know how to make...
