stories over stuff
Today is Snappy’s second birthday and I cannot describe to you how awesome the last two years have been. The last two months. The last two days. Today, I let him take a two-hour nap on my lap today because he told me he was happy right before he dozed off. I had the stuff to…
Snappy is officially sleeping in his big bed. And it really is a bit bed. My little croc is a little kid, genetics and well, he started off little, so being in a single bed really emphasises it. It’s going well so far. The bed frame is actually my nephew’s old bed (he’s fifteen now…

Here at Queer Little Family, we use both disposable and cloth nappies on Snappy. I would like to ditch the disposables entirely but it’s not been feasible with Snappy’s nappy rash and the fact that he moves so much in his sleep. So at night we use a disposable because we know he won’t wake…
Easter is reeeeeeally early this year, it’s Good Friday this Friday, so I’m a bit later than usual with my holiday themes board book list.
