Summer’s over, and the weather is still not too bad, but we kind of already miss cosying up at home, watching movies under a blanket, playing board games… So, shall we get ready for the coming months? (more…)
Behaviours as old as time. No matter what, no matter when, no matter where, there are some funny stages all kids go through. Some of them are hilarious, some of them are sometimes embarrassing, some of them can be a bit annoying, but fortunately, they all just come and go. (more…)
Somehow 2017 is already over. We know, we know, it feels like it was yesterday last time we counted down the last 10 seconds of 2016, and suddenly, New Year’s Eve has passed again. But, hey, is counting down the last 10 seconds of the year the way people celebrate NYE all around the world? (more…)
Oh… pacifiers. They do bring peace and happiness to the household, don’t they? However, many parents worry their child might become a pacifier-addict who won’t ever want to stop suckling.

Ideally, parenting would be super easy and every child would be driven, focused and would have a deep love for study. In reality, kids are not always like that, there are some unicorns, sure, but it’s not the most usual thing.

“Are we there yet? How long will it take? Muuuuum, Mike is trying to steal my toy from me! I want to throw uuuuup. I need to peeeeeee.” Travelling with kids is, to say the least, eventful. We’ve all been there, we’ve all wanted to own a special remote control that could just mute them until we reached our destination. Like, we love them, but come on.
