He’s such an active and interested little boy. He’s definitely bored JUST playing with toys. He loves putting things inside things and just so curious about everything.

I really want my little boy to see a proper display but he also really struggles to stay up past his bedtime which is at 8 and I've seen a few places advertising fireworks for 7:45!

Anyone know of any fireworks display going on in Preston this week/weekend?

My best friend has invited me on a three day all paid cruise as her plus one for work. I told her I’d like to go but I’m nervous/feeling anxious and guilty leaving my baby home with my husband. Baby will be almost three months by the time of the trip. I feel as if my husband still doesn’t fully get the whole newborn...

Can anybody recommend some cheap/free activities I can do with my nearly 6 month old. I feel like I’m failing her. We don’t really do anything all day everyday. Whether this be due to money or anxiety. We don’t have family close by and I’m struggling with money while on maternity so even topping up my petrol is toug...

Have to take my car into the tire shop. My son’s day care is a 30min drive it will cost $17 to Uber there (I’m assuming taxes and fees added to this? Haven’t used it in years) Instead I’m choosing to take the ttc. Am I being too cheap? I’m not struggling, but I don’t have money to waste, so especially with this une...

Can we normalise dad’s attending baby classes? My husband won’t go because all of the wording on the websites say ‘mother and baby’ and he’s worried that he will be the only dad there. It’s sad because he’s missing out on all this bonding time. 😢

Has anyone been to Disneyland Paris in January? How did you find it was it super cold/worth it?

My toddler just turned two last week. He’s extremely active, happy and LOUD. He likes to have fun, sing, dance and play. I’m a SAHM so I take him to library MUSIC & Movement time once a week. (Not to be confused with typical story time.. We tried story time and he just would not stay still and listen to 3-4 books a...

Would anyone be interested in your child doing a 15 minute video call and doing a weekly penpal with my son? He is pre kindergarten this homeschool school year. He has started to write and love sending mail out to his grandparents, so I figured a penpal would be good for him. He enjoys pretend play with toys, Lego b...

Hey mummies. What activities do you do with your September bubbas?

Hi! We’re taking our just-turned 1 year old to Mexico for two weeks next week. I firstly wondered if anyone had any general tips about long-haul flights, airport, what to pack, food & cows milk, etc etc. But also any holiday-specific recommended buys! Like things for the pool or sea. Thank you in advance!

One of my best friends is getting married but no kids are allowed. I declined the invite cuz wedding is a 3hr drive oneway. We have a 3yo and 1yo and we would either have to find an overnight sitter (cost not an issue but we’re not comfortable with this) or not drink etc. and leave early to come home. We would both ...

May be a silly question but does ikea in Edinburgh have the trolleys that toddler can sit in like ones at supermarkets?? Or do I need to bring a pram? Going solo so will be pretty difficult to get what I need if I need the pram too 🤦🏽‍♀️

My daughter is now 9 weeks and 2 days old, so she is a little more interactive than before, though this is still the early stages. During the day I mostly sit with her on the sofa watching TV as I don't get enough sleep and thus am very low on energy. I do however try and interact with her and put her in her plaype...
