Wheels on the bus
| May 31, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Journal, Parenting |
Today was my bi-yearly Allergy Clinic appointment so off we toddled (well pushed and carried for a bit) to do a little shopping before the appointment. Parking at a park and ride and meeting the grandparents to help out whilst at the appointment. Then off to the bus. Which the Little Tiger pointed out very… more
A day at the zoo
| May 29, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Days out |
We decided a while a go to get season tickets for a local zoo. Little Tiger was starting to show some interest in the animals and as it’s only 30 – 50 mins down the road depending on the traffic it seemed a worth while investment – we’ve already made the money back. But this… more

Breaking Point
| May 28, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Journal, Parenting |
I fell apart yesterday – or that’s what it felt like. All of a sudden just before heading to play group everything went pear shapped. Little Tiger decided at that point he would bite me – so it’s happened lots it’s a phase, I know he will grow out of it and most children go… more
Little Tiger’s breast feeding journey
| May 25, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Journal, Parenting |
I knew that I wanted to breast-fed from the moment I was pregnant there was no doubts in my mind that was what we were going to do. It wasn’t a try to breast-fed – I am too stubborn to try “I was going to do it”. The pregnancy wasn’t easy – from 8 weeks… more
The weigh-in clinic
| May 24, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Journal, Parenting |
The weigh-in clinic for babies I think must be a uniquely British thing to have developed over the last 20 years or so as when I talk to older family members they are surprised at how it is run and that there is no GP there for medical matters instead either a health visitor and… more
Spoiling a baby
| May 23, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Journal, Parenting |
I’m a member of some of the popular parenting forums and recently on Tinkerbell’s birth board/clubs there has been many threads about spoiling the babies. Now these babies are between 7 weeks and 12 weeks old basically and the number of post far out weighs anything else that is mentioned. Spoiling apparently is responding to… more

Church Farm Stow Bardolph is about 10 miles South of King’s Lynn in Norfolk just off of the A10. It’s a Rare Breeds Centre and despite living in the area most of my childhood and teenage years I had never visited before this week. On a Friday in May during the term time we set… more
Chad Valley Apple Sand Pit
| May 21, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under product review |
Last year for Little Tigers first birthday we decided that we would ask for garden toys – he’s an August baby so by the time we got the sand pit it was a little late in the year to use it with him a lot. But this year, the sand pit is a firm favourite.… more
