So my little sisters birthday is in April and my dad invited me and my daughter to Strathclyde park with them. My dad drives but has said he’s not taking the car so he can have a drink. My mum doesn’t drive, her boyfriend does but him and my dad don’t get along. I will be 36 weeks pregnant to the day and my last bab...
Looking for recommendations for a balance bike for a 3 year old please. Thanks!
Our little boy is turning 1 and I have absolutely no idea what to get him for his birthday. For context, we also have a 3year old boy, I kept everything from when he was born so we have literally everything, I don't think my house can take anymore toys and he's far more interested in all of his brothers. Any idea...
my 11wo will only settle by watching the TV- her favourite thing is dancing fruits. I wouldn’t typically give her a lot of screen time around this age but it really calms her down. I feel like such a bad mum for this. I’ve tried lots of different things to try and settle her/entertain her but she gets bored quickly..
Need to take on holiday but also would want it to be suitable for daily use
Is 2 too young to sign my son up for football or gymnastics? I am out and about a lot with him on my days off, I just want him to make friends and do a sport but also want him to chose what he does, but if I wait until he knows all the sports and can choose he'd be way older. I don't want to have to commit to any te...
Are there any toddler boy/girl moms interested in regular meetups and day trips? I know this is a bit of an unusual request, but I'm feeling nostalgic for my old life. I used to love taking day trips with my best friend to new cities for lunch and sightseeing. Now, I'm thinking of starting a day trip series. Is anyo...
What are your go to small activities/ideas to keep child occupied while cooking? Besides the toddler tower lol
In two weeks my partner and I will be going on a road trip from Chicago to Arkansas with our LO for the first time. It’s about a 10 hour drive and I’m worried baby is going to be crying most of the time. My baby hates her car seat, I try to distract her with toys but that’ll only calm her down for about 5 min before...
Hi all- has anyone done a 24 hr road trip with a 2.5 year old solo? I was supposed to fly but I am not sure my new ID will come in time (real ID and new passport). Trying to decide if I should just drive it. We will be on vacation for about 2 weeks so it isn’t a matter of if it is worth the time but more has anyone ...
How are we keeping our toddlers entertained for long car journeys? We have a 4hour+ journey coming up in April where my daughter will be 21 months. I cant rely on screen time to keep her occupied because it’s just not for her, she’s not interested. So I intend on sitting in the back with her, but any ideas or th...
My mum and close friends live a 6-hour car journey away. I'd love to see them this summer and visit my hometown, but would be travelling as just the two of us in the car, as my partner won't be able to come with us. I am completely aware of the 2-hour car seat rule, so would plan a route that would allow us to stop ...
Has anyone done a “screen detox” in your home? Please share activities that you have replaced screen time with. I’m not entirely against screens but since the winter I have wanted to reduce that time in the house. Please note I’m talking Other than outside activities because we live in the Midwest and it’s still a b...
What are you getting your toddler for Easter? She really doesn't need any toys and definitely no candy. I need ideas!
We’re taking our 2 year old and 6 month old abroad at the end of this month for the first time. What are the must haves for travelling especially with the baby please? 🙏🏼 TIA
Looking for advice when moving house with a toddler! We’re moving in 2 weeks (only up the road) and want to make the transition as smooth as possible for him. Our removals company will come on a Tuesday to pack everything up, and then we’ll move on the Wednesday. The idea is that he’ll go to my parents on the Tues...
