  • After a busy shopping day yesterday, today we are playing with chalks in the back garden. Apparently the Lion is being just like @bingbunny - He’s just moving up into age 3-4 clothes and I have to admit that we were really struggling to find clothes that didn’t look like they belonged to a teenager. Luckily @benetton @joules and @jojomamanbebe came to the rescue! We still need a few more bits though so I would love your suggestions for places that sell lovely clothes for little boys.
  • This little man is the light of all our lives. But he also has the capacity to scare me more than anyone else I know. He was sick on Friday and is currently extremely reluctant to eat or drink, we’re currently treading a line between whether we can keep him hydrated enough at home or whether tomorrow will mean a trip to the doctor. Our Mother’s Day plans with family have been shelved, but on the bright side that does mean we have an abundance of @bettys cakes - and that is never a bad thing. I hoe if you are reading, you have been well and truly spoilt today, because you deserve it. Yes YOU! #northyorkshire #nothingisordinary #livelifeoutside #toddlersofinstagram #motherhoodcaptured #motherhoodunfiltered #standstillmychild #parenthood_unveiled #finditliveit #justgoshoot #humansofjoy #letthembelittle #welliewalk #documentyourdays #mumofboys #flashesoflight #watchthemgrow #honestmotherhood #wildandfreechildren #treasuringlittlememories #oureverydaymoments
  • Today has been a success. We came up with an action plan for the little man at nursery and he actually asked to go back again. Keep your fingers crossed for us, I am hoping we are turning a bit of a corner thanks to the support of his fantastic teachers. In other news over on the blog I’m talking about some of my favourite wooden toys. Why not take a look. @onehundredtoys @letoyvantoys @hapetoysuk @twentysevencouk @lankakade #londonbus #woodentoys #oureverydaymoments #treasuringlittlememories #igkidsclub #pbloggersuk #ad #sustainableplay #mytinymoments #wildandfreechildren #candidlife #dearphotographer #splashofcolour #happylittlebuttons #developinglife #motherhoodalive #mumofboys #mytinymoments #grimmstoys #mamabear #themagicineveryday #transportforlondon #londontransport #documentyourdays #autism #standstillmychild #mybestfriend #motherhoodalive
  • This weekend hasn’t exactly gone to plan. It started off well with a fantastic letter from Father Christmas- the little man’s first so we were all more than a little excited. We then set off to York Castle Museum to meet the man in red himself. As with so many other days though, the little man’s reflux flared up and he ended up being unwell just before we went in - small mercies, at least Father Christmas was spared the spectacle. Most days we just accept that that is the way life is, but yesterday I was more than a little sad. He has had so much thrown at him over the last two and a half years that sometimes I wish life would just throw him a little break. Perhaps all the more so, because he is always so incredibly brave. We’ve had a day in today, because he’s still struggling, though now thankfully sleeping soundly... fingers crossed tightly he gets a good night. . In other news if you like us are already getting into the Christmas spirit why not check out our Gift Guides over on the blog. With Guides for men, women and children you can’t fail to find something you love. @thamesandhudson @millyandflynn @ukportmeirion @kiddieskingdom @abramschronicle @ergopouch @babybjorn @vividtoysandgames @buff @skates.co.uk @buyagift @twentysevencouk @dobellmenswear @theduppyshare @hoover @brainwavzaudio @boxwildhq @nextbase_uk @londonsockco @summertonclub @theremarkablz @joflibear @learningresourcesuk @bertoy_be #toddlersofig #toddlersofinstagram #magicofchildhood #documentyourdays #simplylittle #humansofjoy #perfectandproud #preciousmoments #standstillmychild #acupofmotherhood #wildandfreechildren #thelittleones #fatherchristmas #lifeasmama #mumofboys #motherhoodalive #mytinymoments #developinglife #happylittlebuttons #themagicineveryday #mybestfriend #mamabear #heartfluttermoments #candidlife #pbloggersuk #igkidsclub #ad #oureverydaymoments #treasuringlittlememories
  • The Bear is getting in the mood to go to a very special preview showing of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald And if I’m honest it’s rare I have ever seen her so excited. She has read all of the original Harry Potter books at least six times, and even though she first read them age seven they remain her go to books of choice whenever she starts to feel anxious. The power of Special Interests is almost as strong as the power of magic. Why not pop back later for an update after the big event. @warnerbrosuk #FantasticBeasts #harrypotter #autismmum #autismmom #dearphotographer #childofig #oureverydaymoments #treasuringlittlememories #specialneedsparents #nothingisordinary #ukmum #dailyparenting #theirwonderfulworld #themagicofchildhood #pbloggersuk #ukparentbloggers #gifted #lionessmama #perfectandproud #mumsofinstagram #tween #booksforteens #grindelwald #muggles

  • Happy Halloween Everyone! This little man had the best time ever picking his Pumpkin this year, so much so that he literally carried it around even to the toilet until it became a very squishy mess. It has now been replaced with a plastic counterpart so that we don’t have the trauma of another pumpkin death! #halloween #pumpkinpatch #lovelifeoutside #theirlittleworld #perfectandproud #toddlersofinstagram #parentblogger #pbloggeruk #littlemoments #littleandbrave #littleandfierce #mummymoment #cameramama #thisparentlife #dailyparenting #happylittlesoul #happylittlemoments

  • A lovely day baking chocolate cakes today. Baking is a favourite activity here but unfortunately I’m the one that ends up eating it. The Bear has declared it too chocolatey, the Lion has decided it’s too messy... if only I felt that way about chocolate... #chocolate #bakingwithkids #chocolatebake #letthembelittle #mummybloggeruk #parentbloggersuk #littleadventures #autismmum #autismmom #toddlerlifestyle #dinosaursofinstagram #littleandbrave #littleandfierce #toddlersofinstagram #uniqueandsuccessful
