Freddie Three Posted on May 10, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky At three you are full of opinions, likes (Meg and Mog, grapes, sleeping in our bed, drawing) and dislikes (dogs, scooting on your own, babybells, having anyone help you do anything!). At three you are by far the funniest little girl around and SO knowing with it. We can see… Read more
Family Diary Pancake Saturdays Posted on March 29, 2015May 21, 2025 By Becky When I had children I always knew I wanted to create a few traditions for them, lovely little rituals they might want to recreate with their own family once they’d grown and flown, and things they’d remember fondly even as adults. Step forward, Pancake Saturdays! This ‘treat’ breakfast has… Read more
Freddie Freddie at 4 Years 1 Month Posted on March 22, 2015May 21, 2025 By Becky Our fabulous little chap turned 4 at the beginning of February, and, as usual, time seems to fly since the last time I did a ‘Freddie at X’ post! What I love about these posts is the noticable changes in my children since the last one- it really is a… Read more
Freddie Freddie is 4! Posted on February 12, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky So last Friday (6th), Freddie turned 4! I don’t know about you, but ‘4’ suddenly sounds so grown up? ‘4’ means going to school this September, and ‘4’ can definitely no longer be included in the toddler category (not that I’ve thought of F as a toddler for a long… Read more
Freddie The First Day (Take Two!) Posted on January 18, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky On Monday we chartered familiar, yet also unfamiliar territory, for it was Sasha’s first day at preschool, joining her elder brother. When it was Freddie’s first day 15 months ago, I felt a bundle of nerves (although trying not to show these!) and it was a BIG DEAL him going-… Read more
Freddie Siblings – January Posted on January 15, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky This is a big month for these two sibling-wise. Sasha started her first days at preschool with Freddie this week, joining him for 2 afternoons, and then they both do one morning together. She is doing well so far, and we’ve been especially proud of how F has looked after… Read more
Freddie Sasha at 2 years 8 months Posted on January 11, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky Blimey, has it really been 4 months since I did one of these? I love that I’ve started these little records of both Freddie and Sasha- I hope they will be lovely to look back on when they are old enough to read. I have (probably crazy) visions of still… Read more
Family Diary Making memories AKA mangling mince pies! Posted on November 23, 2014May 19, 2025 By Becky Okay, so I know this is another Christmas-related post in November, but please bare with me! When I was growing up, one of the traditions I can remember in the run-up to Christmas, along with making the Christmas cake, was to make mince pies with my Mum, and bung them… Read more
Freddie Freddie’s Christmas Wishlist Posted on November 20, 2014October 1, 2025 By Becky Apologies in advance, but I’m afraid I’ve become one of those irritating people who start buying Christmas presents in August. It’s not that I’m obsessing over the festive season so soon (as much as I love it, I try not to peak too early), but because over the last… Read more
