My little boys 2nd birthday is the end of next month so I'm starting to plan and get his presents so I'm not leaving it until last minute, does anyone have any recommendations of what to get a 2 year old for their birthday (and Christmas as I may as well start shopping for that too)? Thank you.

I’ve just booked for us to go to New York next month. We’ve flown with little one to Spain when he was 10months which was about 2.5 hours. He will be 16 months when we go. What are your top tips for flying long haul (8 hours)? Does anyone have any recommendations for whilst there? Any idea what the best method of...

Is it normal for my 2.5 year old to be completely uninterested in the zoo or aquarium. We went to a local zoo and all she wanted to do was play in the rocks, sand or sun around. At the aquarium she just ran through it. My daughter just seems to not have many interests in things. And if she does it’s for a week and m...

My daughter has her first day at nursery tomorrow. She will be going in 5 days a week 8:30-11:30. Since it is her first day, we have been told that it is totally up to us how long we wish to send her in for. Just need your guys opinions please! Should I send her in for the full 3 hours or less? My daughter does have...

I do have stuff I need to do like today I needed to sort clothes and things our cupboard etc and I brought her up with me and just let her watch me, she was fine she was just touching the stu...

I feel super conflicted on what to do. We have a holiday coming up soon and little one would be 14/15 months. My mums offered to watch her because she thinks it’ll be hard and lots of travelling with the little one. It does seem logical but I’m not too sure if I’ll regret it. Do I take them with me or leave them wit...

I'm babysitting my friend's four year old in a few days and my eldest is only one so I'm not really sure what are some good activities for that age to keep them occupied all day. I don't have much experience with kids older than two 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm considering signing her up for extracurricular acti...

Do any of you other mommas worry/obsess over whether your child has enough toys that are stimulating them enough and helping with development? I feel like I have obsessively worried about this from the beginning and I get SO overwhelmed when looking for age appropriate toys. There's just so much stuff out there but ...
