When you find out you’re going to have a baby you make lists of all the things you are going to need, pram, bottles, nappies, cot, babygrows etc. However, we rarely think about those white daggers from hell that will turn our little angels into grumpy angels….teeth! Gummee has put together a helpful teething guide for you so you can know what to expect and when.
If you are looking to transform your outdoor space and create an inviting space for your kids, there are so many ways you can make the garden fun for the children. Now some children don’t need any encouragement to get out into the garden (in fact, getting them back in again is usually the issue). However, with the pull of computers, tablets and films sometimes you need to persuade them to get outdoors. Take a look at these ideas on how to make the garden fun for the children…
Visiting Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Park last weekend allowed us the chance to experience the new James and the red balloon ride for the first time.
As back to school approaches for another year, school uniforms and accessories are top of my priority list. However, there is also something else on my list just for Tigger. Almost a year ago we found out that Tigger had some eye problems and would be required to wear glasses for at least the next few years in the hope of correctly the issues.
When it comes to visiting Drayton Manor and in turn Thomas Land, it feels as though we are going home. Having visited at least once a year for the past eight years it is somewhere we look forward to taking the children back again (and again). Our last visit was back in February, so this trip was long overdue and the children were excited to catch up with the trains that they have known since they were little.

How many meals per week are you eating away from home? Over the last few decades, more and more people have been ordering takeaways. However, research published by the John Hopkins School of Public Health has claimed that people who frequently cook meals at home eat healthier and consume fewer calories.
Encouraging children to sit down, pick up a pen and complete homework, writing or activities can be challenging. Between homework…
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (The IET) have partnered up with Mondelēz International to launch a competition for kids to engineer the ‘Chocolate Bar of the Future’. The competition aims to engage kids in the joy of engineering and innovation while nurturing their curiosity through the medium of chocolate.
It’s such silly things to remember from my childhood, however, something I have always wanted to give my children is a wooden playhouse. One that would be played in throughout their childhood and one that they would recall when they are older. After years of not having a garden to house a playhouse, last year we moved home and finally have a garden to call our own. Whilst a trampoline was one of the first things we added for them, I still longed for a playhouse for them to enjoy.
