I’m getting my girl an activity table for Christmas but I’ve found so many different ones that I want to get her and just thought I’d ask what other people have found if you’re getting your LO’s one? Could you show me them if you are please? 😌

My kids are just getting tall enough, they don’t have impulse control even though I’ve been saying and informing for years (2&3yos) but they’ll climb to grab anything I have to adamantly keep the counters clear of anything ugh

What are you little ones loving atm? Toy suggestions? Bath toys suggestions? Tv/youtube programs?

Any tips for moving house with a 1 year old? I’m dreading the logistics of move day and looking after my baby and navigating naps etc?

Any recommendations for a activity table or anything thay might keep a 1 year old occupied for a decent amount of time? My daughter's birthday is next month and I'm looking for something that will help keep her attention while I WFH. Lately she just wants to try and type on my laptop. 🤦‍♀️

What are we getting our 2 year olds for Christmas this year?? Trying to get some ideas to start early so I'm not last minute as usual🙈 We have a kitchen so I'm gonna get a kettle and toaster to go with it for starters!

My 18m old will engage and play with his toys after they’re tucked away/ organized in baskets and then will make a mess. Once it’s a mess he does not engage or play with them. I’ve left it in its mess for a few days at a time thinking he’ll still play with them. lol turns out he rarely touches them unless it’s tid...

It's been months now and I still cannot figure out what to do for my baby's birthday. She'll be turning 1 and I have no money and because it's winter I can't do one of those lovely "picnic in the park" birthdays which I would have absolutely loved to do and I can't celebrate it at home because nobody would fit…

Hi mamas! What are some hobbies you all enjoy? I currently finished my degree and I used to work an unstable schedule so my hours were all over the place during the week. This gave me something to do while my boyfriend got some time to himself. Now, I’m working at a job 8am - 4:30pm M-F and I’m not in school. So, I...

I'm so tired of my son's toys being scattered all over the house instead of played with. Blocks, buzzles, counting toys, shape sorters etc. All are just a million little pieces scattered to the 4 corners! 🫠 I know less is better sometimes so tomorrow I'm going to put away all the little pieces and leave out a few…

I've always wanted to decorate my apartment for the holidays especially now with the little kids to make it more special for them but they're super destructive so I can't get anything that would sit on a table or our TV stand 😅 How do you decorate for the holidays with young kids? Do you have a lot of wall…

Anyone know of anything good for a 4 year old going on in half term, we don't know many people round here so would be great if there was any clubs etc for her to join in with :)

Since watching ‘Bing’, my 2 year old little girls behaviour has got worse. Bing comes across as very whiney, selfish and always moaning and this is exactly the behavioural traits my lg has started to display. I understand that those behaviours are all part of growing and learning boundaries etc but the tantrums are ...

I feel so guilty for not doing more with my son and taking him to parks, kids museums and stuff. I’m 26 weeks pregnant and just exhausted throughout the day. What are some fun/ easy things we can do at home?

Hi ladies, I saw a few posts about baby classes in Swansea, not sure if you already knew but there are completely FREE classes in Penlan children’s community centre and Mayhill community centre. Sensory rooms free to book and all sorts of activities. Cannot praise these places enough, they’re so lovely!! I’ve adde...

We’ve been to several 1 year old parties recently and it’s now my boys turn. Every party we go to we get a party bag but they’re almost always pretty crap and the toys end up in the bin. I’d like to give nice gifts that’s don’t cost the earth. I need to give 6 children bags, does anyone have any ideas on what I coul...

Do you think its ok to get a 4 year old some makeup? Just for playing but proper makeup.

How do you fill the days when you can’t drive? The village I live in also has one minibus type of bus to a small town but it’s very unreliable and there’s no designated bus stops, you have to book the bus like a taxi. Other mums that don’t drive, how are you spending your days with LO and still getting out the house?
