I have just moved to Liverpool, I am 35 weeks and looking to kill some time whilst my partner is at work. Does anyone recommend any nice places to go on a walk? I’m based south Liverpool but have a car so distance isn’t a problem 😊xx

We’re renovating our garden which should be complete in the next few weeks, I want to buy my LO garden stuff for her 2nd birthday. Can anyone recommend anything particularly a swing and slide set one that will last as she gets a little older? I’ve seen some for ridiculous money but ideally don’t want to spend more t...

Hello mommas, I have a 7 month old that gets bored quite easily and I have got no clue what more games to do with her. She doesn’t like tummy time and has no interest in crawling, she can sit up on her own and stands as well with assistance. She plays with her toys but not for more than a little while and then she g...

Hey everyone! I'm going on holiday in June, little boy will be just turned 2 and we haven't been abroad yet with him. Any tips/toys I can get please for the airport/flight (it's a 4.5 hour flight) and I'm nervous!

Hello! We have just booked an MSC cruise and I was wondering if anyone has done a cruise at a similar age and if you have any tips with making it work with a toddler! Many thanks!!

Looking for tips on how to go shopping with 2 under 2. I attempted it solo yesterday and it was a complete shit show and resulted in a major panic attack. I worry if I baby wear my daughter will flip out like she usually does for me to carry her throughout the store. I’ve tried snacks, toys, even Ms Rachel when all ...

Anyone lived in Okinawa? My husband and I are considering that as his next duty stationed. My daughter will be a little over 1 at the time of the move if we do.

Sometimes me and my girl eat lunch together and watch NCIS lol. I never thought anything of it until I realised this is also screen time lol. She might not understand anything, but we always have a jolly time when we do. Idk why but I feel like a bad parent.

Anyone else more impressed with a child who can play, has social skills, knows their name, life skills, can help cook, etc than a kid who knows their alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors? Our kids don’t need to be educated asap. They need to be kids. Education will be greater if that happens. 🤷🏽‍♀️ And THIS is…

Hey all. My little one turns 4 in August so is starting school in September. I don’t know if I’m being silly but I’m sure I’ve seen something before saying that you can take kids out of school (without getting fined) before they turn 5 years old? Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks!

Are there any mum and baby classes in slough for free ?

How are we entertaining our little ones? All our classes are off due to half term so I’m struggling to find ways to entertain my 12 week old, we go for a daily walk (at least an hour), baby plat mat, tried reading she’s not interested, short intervals watching mum do house work but I’m lost now. She cries a lot and ...

I'm terrified of not booking seats and ending up split from my partner and having our 1 year old on my lap to entertain alone for a long flight - Is this likely to happen or will they keep us together? I'll take the cost if I have to but could do with saving the money 🤣 Thank you!

I am putting together a gift list for my little ones 1st birthday Would be super grateful if you could share any ideas to add to the gift list as I am a first-time mum. I'm not quite sure which toys are good for the age of 1 to 2. Thank you

Let's take a stroller walk in the park! I'm fine with keeping it light, just chatting about motherhood and pop culture--and not getting too political or religious. I'm just looking for a walking buddy (or two)!

Which do you prefer? (family with young kiddos here!) Husband took a week off of work with zero plans and it was awesome! We got nothing done around the house but we just did what we wanted and enjoyed family time! Now the kids are wanting him nonstop rather than me being default parent so we’ll be sad when he goes...
