Friday night

So I went out on Friday night (2-5-14), I was having a great night until I broke all my morals and had a one night stand with an 18yo guy and I didn't even know his name! I have been beating myself up about it ever since.
I found out this morning that my best friend has gotten a lot of abuse because of it.
I just wanna crawl up in a ball and die.
I wish it never happened! Please take me back to that night and make me realise it's not worth it!

BLW - Baby Led Weaning

A) what is your understanding of when solids ought to be Introduced?
I started introducing solids to my kids around 5 and a half months. In my opinion it Is up to the child but not before 4 months.

B) What was your experience of introducing solids?
Messy, fun, engaging, & challenging.

Book review

My kids love books. They love the different voices for different actions or characters. Their favorite book is the Three Little Pigs. They love listening to the wolf huffing and puffing.

The reader is really good at getting the kids' attention and keeping them enticed.

The kids love listening to all the different sound effects, such as, huffing and puffing, falling houses, the different voices and background music.

They like listening and learning the difference between the goodies and badies,  right and wrong.

The kids love the anticipation when there is impending danger, the music, the characters reactions,  and sound effects.
