What I would do with a Pent Standard Shed

Beast Sheds is running a competition and want to know what you would do with their 5x4 Pent Standard Shed.

Letters to my son - Coombes Farm

Dear Max,

Well, it's that time again, it's your daddy's favourite time - Lambing Season at Coombes Farm.

As we did last year, we went and saw the newborn lambs being born yesterday, and you also got to 'feed' some of the sheep who all seem to take a shine to you.

We are so lucky where we live, downs to the north, beach to the south and farms just a short drive away.



You were very well behaved on the tractor waiting for it to start - we had a little picnic whilst we waited.

With the farm in the morning and getting all the toys out in the garden in the afternoon - you were tired and asleep for the night.... by 4.30pm!

Love you always my little man

Review: How to Catch a Star Book

** This Competition Now Closed **

We have been given the opportunity to review the book  How to Catch a Star which is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

This lovely book is illustrated by world-renowned Oliver Jeffers and it really is beautiful.  The story is about a boy who loved stars very much.  Every night he watched the stars from his window and wished he had one of his very own.

This is rather fitting in our household at the moment as we are potty training and the rewards are stars so as you can see by our images our boy is loving this book and all the stars he finds within it.

We found this book was perfect in size and story for Max, we read it a few times (about 6 but who's counting) in a row and is definitely a hit in our home.

As I said, this is the 10th anniversary of How to Catch a Star and Harper Collins is celebrating this by giving away copies of this hardback edition which is out on 27th March for £12.99.

I am fortunate enough to have been given 2 copies from Harper Collins.  One for us to review and one to giveaway to one of my readers.  I am also giving away the pack of glow in the dark stars.

I was given 2 How to Catch a Star books for the purpose of this review.

All opinions are my own.

Resin Starter Pack Review

Following on from my post on where to buy jewellery pieces, I am now the proud owner of Jewellery Maker's Resin Starter Took Kit.

And so the Potty Training begins!

Handpicked daisies from my baby boy

Well, this a nervous time in our toddler days - the potty training days.

We are officially potty training this week.  The nursery has suggested we start and we've taken our lead from them as I do agree Max is ready.  

He's doing well only 1 accident today and 1 yesterday but what I mainly wanted to say - OMG THE PRICE OF PANTS!!

I know, I know it's going to be cheaper than nappies but come on £7 for a pair of spider-man boxers for a 2-year-old? No, that's not happening - not to just be peed all over ;)

Asda does a nice cheap version but I fear a couple of washes and they are out the door.  I've had a shop around online and have managed to find some great briefs from BHS with 50% off.

For me this is the big turning point, like when Max gave up his bottle, moving from his cot to his bed - another milestone to show my little baby boy is growing up, and growing up fast.

I really am thankful for digital cameras, my blog letters to Max, videos and digital life, in general, to be able to capture all his precious moments so I can look back on them with such great fondness (and embarrass the £7 spider-man pants off him, when he's older).
