Happy New Year everyone!  I hope you had a lovely Christmas break with your loved ones. It's been a while since I've updated this blog.  I'm always procrastinating writing an update, as I always feel I have nothing exciting going on and I seem to be whining about the same old things - child not sleeping mainly!  Which may not make for very exciting reading! Anyway...
How are we all holding up in the throws of Christmas chaos?  I have to say I am not one of these people that buy their christmas presents throughout the year taking advantage of the sales...nor am I one of these people that have all their Christmas shopping done and dusted by now with the only task left to do is wrap the presents!  So needless to say there is a bit of last minute activit...

So little miss nearly-two-years-old is now in a big bed.  Putting her in a big bed was actually the wild card option in a last ditch attempt to sort out her sleep  before we were going on holiday.  Well something had to be done as I was not interested in getting up to her four or five times a night whilst I was on holiday! Initially it went amazingly well!  For the first time...
Not one to rub it in .. but ... we've just got back from a week long stay in the lovely Rarotonga!   It's actually a funny story how this holiday came about, as originally hubby and I were to go away for a long weekend sans child.  Child was going to go to stay at Grandma's place, Grandma and Grandpa had arranged their annual leave, an itinerary for the four day's was p...
Our wonderful nutritionist Rebecca was asked the following question, "Hi, I have got a beautiful 9 months baby girl. She is very active, she started moving army style at 7 months and at 8 months she was crawling and pulling herself up. At her last Plunket appointment I realised she had not grown in the last 3 months, she is still 66cm long and 7.8kg. The Plunket nurse suggested to give her so...
Those wonderful people at Kohu Road have created two new berry fruit flavours - a sorbet and an ice cream - all ready for summer. In their words," Kohu Road Raspberry Ice Cream is soft pink and velvety and captures the vibrant summer flavour of succulent raspberries plucked fresh from the garden. The raspberries are sourced from sunny Nelson and Chile. The whole fruit is added to th...
Hello Stranger! Oh it's been a very long time hasn't it!  In fact, my last post was just following the last school holiday's and now it's the end of next so it's been a term!  I am terrible!  I will make an effort to update this blog more regularly. I hope you all are well and finding activities to keep the wee tot's occupied in the wet weather of late....
Hi All!  Hope you all survived the school holiday's .. and the dreary weather that seems to come with it.  Why is it that as soon as school holiday's start the weather starts to pack it in! Over the past few weeks, on some day's, my lovely little 19 month old decides that she no longer requires a day sleep.  Ah WHAT????  No one tells you that these day sleeps come...
A Babies Club member asked our lovely nutritionist teh following question... "I've got a 1 year old who can now apparently 'eat mostly what we eat' but I am nervous of doing this. Is it really OK for my son to eat the things we eat, things that may be fried, cheesy, salty or a bit spicy? I've pretty much had him having no or very low salt, fat and sugar up to this point....
