My take on the joys and difficulties of being a parent, here I am not pretending to know it all… at all just trying to figure it out like every other parent on the planet and have some fun doing it. :)

Both my children love reading, the littlest more but this is because we have cultivated this love from a very young age. We did this with the use of picture books, most of which were way over his “age group”. November is Picture Book month, and to celebrate this, every day this week I will be featuring and reviewing one of our favourite picture books! Of course at the end of this week there will be a lovely picture book hamper for age group 3-6 sponsored by Pan MacMillan for you to win!

All you need to do is follow each book review this week for a hint released each day and on Friday follow the prompts!

Meghan Trainor’s Sequel to NO! My child’s favourite word!

I recently read over the tantrums post I wrote about Daniel before he turned two and had a little giggle to myself. Well, shame on us for thinking that degree of stubborn was even worth talking about. His two’s have taken tantrums to a whole new level! He is even starting the sequel to Meghan Trainor’s No… it’s pretty catchy too.

Win a Disney Baby Hamper with Prima Baby!

Have you ever looked at the baby products on the market right now and just felt like your child (Who is not a baby anymore!) really missed out. I mean there is a gadget for every single thing you could think or imagine needing available. So many things that make life a ton easier. My advice? Have a baby – you could totally experience all those fantastic things over again! Like I did! (A baby 10years later – ha ha ha ha! I thought I was hilarious obviously!)

It’s been a really quiet few weeks, erhm I mean months up on the blog. It’s been rough. So rough in some ways that it’s a little hard to talk about. Job stuff, personal insecurities, kids doing things kids do that throw their parents completely off track. Health stuff, connecting and disconnecting. It’s been a hard time for the family. I’m still kinda processing where I am at, but I figured that the best way to do that would be to vomit a little into my blog. My space. Obviously let the internet know that I’m still alive!

When the Mountains Roared {Childrens Book Review}

Another holiday behind us, but this one was a little different… we and by we I mean Emilie, did actually get some reading done. In fact she was so engrossed, we worried that she was a little anti-social. I know I know, worried when they do, worried when they don’t! When the mountains roared gave my little girl so much to think about and be grateful for. The perfect story to move an animal lover anywhere. Dare I say – this may have even changed her perspective on some things? A mom can dream!
