When Oscar first started school, I was really shocked to find that at the end of the school day he often had a bit of a whiff about him. I always assumed that children didn’t really get body odour until they hit the puberty years, however, this isn’t the case…

Dear Oscar Today you turned seven! I know it’s a huge cliche, but I can’t quite believe how quickly the past seven years have gone. As I said to you this morning, seven years ago you changed my life – you made me a mummy. I wrote about the day…

As a mum of three, including 3 year-old twins, I often get asked “How do you do it?”. If I’m brutally honest, somedays I really don’t know! Recently I’ve been finding this whole parenting lark hard. Really hard. All three of our children seem to waking up before 6am, particularly…

My captured moment is from a couple of weeks back when Oscar turned 6. He had his birthday party at Pizza Express, which was brilliant. What struck me with these photos is how grown up he looks. It made me realise that he’s no longer a little baby boy anymore.…

When the twins were still tiny, we worked hard to ensure that they were in a good, predictable routine (I think it’s the only way to survive twins!). As a result they’ve always been good sleepers. They go to bed at 7pm and sleep until about 6/6.30am. They’ve also always…

On Friday Heidi began her potty training journey. A week ago I bought a pack of Huggies Pull Ups as they were on offer. Heidi really took to them and has been showing a real interest in the potty, so on Friday I decided to take the plunge and let…

Earlier this month we went to stay with our friends over the bank holiday weekend. We had a lovely time and the kids were all really well behaved, which is always a bonus! On the journey home, we realised that Oscar didn’t have his beloved Bunny. Bunny is a Jellycat…
