Teething troubles

Source My little one is teething pretty bad right now. He has four teeth and no sign of any more coming through apart from the crying, and not sleeping. He also has been shaking his head a lot, he done this before his last tooth came through. I'm hoping all this trouble these teeth are causing him means maybe a few are coming through at once.

Top 10 Garden toys

My little one and my nephew love to play in the garden and it has been perfect garden weather recently! I've been looking on Amazon for garden toy ideas and have listed my top 10. We already have a giant connect 4 which Ryker loves and we have a skittles set (paw patrol obviously). All images are linked to Amazon if you want to buy any of the toys. I've recently applied to join Amazon affiliate so if you are interested in any of the toys it would be amazing if you can use one of my links to buy them. Thanks and enjoy.

Review: Supermarket own brand nappies

I've always used supermarket own brand nappies, a lot of them work just as well as the more expensive ones just with a better price. I've managed to try Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys, and Aldi's nappies. I think the only ones I haven't tried are Co Op, Waitrose, and Lidl. I have also tried Boots, and Superdrug (although not supermarkets I have included them in my review). Here's how I got on...

Young mum: My Story

I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant with Ryker, in my eyes I was way too young and I did struggle. This is my story of what it is like to be a young mum.

My little Chicken pop

L Xander has got chicken pox! He had one on his neck last Tuesday and I wasn't too sure what it was and then Wednesday morning when we woke up we noticed lots more. It was only a matter of time as both my niece and nephew have had them in the past month. I'm happy that he has had them nice and early so I don't have to worry about him catching them when he gets older. He didn't react too well to them, he was going crazy itching his head and body. He had one on his eye waterline which really irritated him. I rubbed some  Calamine cream on him that helped A LOT. My sister recommended  it as she used it on her baby girl and it does really help with the itching. Almost instantly after using it my little one stopped crying and seemed more relaxed. I know the tittle says chicken pop, its a little nickname for Xander whilst he has chicken pox to make light of the situation.  On the bright side they have almost healed over now and after seeing how bad my niece had them Xande

I fractured my foot!

I have been watching a lot of A&E recently although I'm pretty squeamish and have to look away every time any goory stuff comes on TV but I find it interesting seeing what kind of things people go to hospital for. Fractured bones seems to be a common reason. Guess what? I injured my foot on Saturday, I then continued to walk on it for a day before I decided to go hospital to have it looked at!

My view on: Forcing children to eat.

I was watching 'This Morning' the other day and they were discussing whether or not you should force a child to eat their food if they are saying they don't like it or don't want it. Two woman with different opinions were on the show. If you force feed them it can cause more problems but if you don't force feed then you're making it harder on yourself. Here's my opinion...
