Travelling in car

Help! My 11 week old hates the car! This started a couple weeks ago, she just screams in the car unless I am sat in the back with her which is hard if I’m by myself and need to run errands. It’s getting to the point I dread driving anywhere on my own with her and just want to stay home.

Youtube kids

Does the block button not work? Ive blocked certain channels and videos from mine and my kids account and yet somehow they still pop up and the video plays 🤦🏻‍♀️ Is there a way around this to actually block the channels from being an option to my child???

Birthday ideas

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...

Ways to entertain a 3 month old

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..

Activities for 2 year old

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...

Road Trip Advice

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...

Roadtrip solo?

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).

Car journeys

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...
