Tip/Idea - While everyone loves the Ikea highchair (I do too) the recline highchair still has it’s benefits too. If you have purchased a reclining highchair for your bub, don’t wait until they have reached the age to start solids to get it out of it’s box.I found it useful during those awkward times when you had things you had to do, but bub wasn’t happy if they weren’t stuck to your side
eg Wheel the highchair to where you need it (kitchen, bathroom etc) recline it, pop bub in and get on with what you were needing to do……….taking a shower, preparing dinner etc. I found she loved being up at the same level as me, rather than on a blanket on the floor.what your child loves playing with the best -Drawing would be her favourite thing to do, closely followed by going on her swing outside and playing with her cuddle pillows Makka Pakka and Upsy Daisy. She moves her cuddlepillows around the house, standing them up,laying them down, hiding them under her couch LOL and giving them loads of kisses and cuddles and giving them some of her flixotide (asthma preventer through a puffer) too LOL

Jacki (mum) and my sons Liam & Ben Fanto
Both gorgeous boys, aged 5 yrs & 18 mths

I am an avid crafter, cook and all round mum! I love anything to do with kids and more so their beautiful and inquisitive minds.
One of my first loves is creating fantastic and memorable kids parties.
Liam, who is 6 in August, is so into them also that he likes to help create them. His birthday is another 6 months away, yet he has his theme worked out and has already started to make his own invitations! He loves to help create the cake and just loves to help out anyway. Ben also adores watching his brother do all these things and is starting to attempt drawing himself, usually over his hands and mouth though!
So my tip on crafting is, make it fun, make it unique, make it theirs, praise them ALL THE TIME and the good times will also be yours!
What they love playing with best ….. each other!! Liam’s main passion is still trains and construction, but he loves to colour and draw and make things. Ben on the other hand loves hiding things and carrying around spoons and powder bottles! Go figure!
Hope this helps, and I have a photo of my gorgeous guys attached. I hope this makes it on your fabulous site. As a small business owner myself, I love all the unique things you have. Keep up the good work
(Note: thanks for the kind words. Its great customers ;like you who help shape La Toriana. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far!!)
