Everyday discoveries…

Editor — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:42:04 +0000

At the end of 2009, Huggies® Super-Dry asked mums to help them celebrate everyday little discoveries by uploading photos of their babies’ little achievements. The thousands of photos posted on huggiesclub.com created a wonderful gallery of cheeky babies covered in food, sporting sunglasses, grinning for the camera and many more.

Following a public vote, 500 entries were selected to attend casting sessions, from which 10 lucky babies were chosen at random to star in their very own Disney® storybook.

Take a look at the fab gallery now and see who the winners are at www.huggiesclub.co.uk/superdrydiscoveries

Baby First Aid

While scrolling through my RSS today I came across a post by the wonderful Who’s The Mummy about a baby first aid course that she attended a while back. It’s definitely worth checking out for some helpful hints (and life saving information). She also links to the British Red Cross site for first aid for babies and children, which is something that all of us should probably be aware of.

Things My Child Says

We all know that kids say the funniest things - and now there’s a site dedicated to it. Blogger Dad has recently launched THINGS MY CHILD SAYS. It’s still currently in its infancy (haha) but is open to submissions. So if you have anything fittting, send him a mail, or just stop by for some laugh out loud quotes.

One of our favourite Mummy bloggers, Peggy from Perfectly Happy Mum has recently launched a new (and completely awesome) blog to accompany her mum coaching service.

Check it out here for helpful hints and tips on motherhood and surviving its ups and downs. I’m totally in love with her latest video post. Stop by and take a look.

Worlds Greatest Dad?

Have any of you ever resorted to such desperate measures to help the babies back to sleep?

Dad instruction Manuals?

Editor — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:22:27 +0000

This week the government releases its Green Paper on “Families and Relationships” and according to the Guardian it’s going to focus heavily on involving fathers in their offsprings early lives, going so far as to include a “Dad’s Guide” full of helpful hints on breastfeeding and supporting you partner.

Read the full story at The Guardian.

What do you think about this initiative?

Hopefully the last indoor crafts post for a while!

Is it just me, or is everyone else completely over the snow ? It was pretty at first but now it’s just making day to day life harder than it needs to be.

While searching for more indoor crafts activities, I came across this “Make an Ice Rink” idea, which as well as looking kind of fun to make can also be used to play with afterwards. Click through for instructions. I’m a massive fan of the tooth pick skates that you add to dolls to allow them to skate on the ice.

I might go and test it out.

Friday Video

We’re going to try and post a video here every Friday, so if you have any recommendations of kid-centric humour do send them our way!

This weeks comes courtesy of Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy, and features a favourite Christmas gift of boys of all ages.

Haha.

What did yours love the most out of everything you got them ?

It keeps on coming…

It’s only a few days in and we’re all already sick of the snow. The kids still seem to be into it though, from the bus today I saw a child being dragged up a particularly icy Holloway Road on a body board (turned into a make shift sled) by his grinning father. I’d like to point out that the boy in question seemed to be having the time of his life too.

With this in mind, take a look at some of our American cousin’s best ever snow sculptures. Don’t get jealous though, they get a lot more practice than us! Check them out at FAMILY FUN, which also features a whole bunch of outdoors snowy family activities.
