It’s the beginning of Autumn and tucked away in a Church hall in Crosby is an ever growing group of young people chopping, frying, stirring and tasting the most delicious Pumpkin Curry. The smell is amazing but what is even more exciting is the mix of people this cooking course has attracted. Aimed at ages 7-12 the Little Apples course is full and at the … Continue reading Little Apples Cooking Academy by Chef de Party
We’ve visited the Liverpool Language Lab before to see what they do and find out how we could get involved. When we last posted about it (https://growliverpool.home.blog/2019/05/03/liverpool-language-lab/) Phoebe was only 6 months old. 4 months on and Phoebe was asked to take part in a new study. Infants are learning important things about language as early as they can hear it, well before they start … Continue reading Liverpool Language Lab – Taking part
The dance floor is full, the lights flicker around the room and we know the words to every song that comes on. But this is not a Saturday night on the town. This is a Sunday morning at Constellations and the space has been transformed into one for families to make the most of those precious weekends together. This is the Holistic Harmonies Family Social. … Continue reading Holistic Harmonies: Family Social
There is no doubt that Liverpool is a city defined by music and you only have to take one glance at the baby/toddler scene to see that the city is continuing to invest in the musicians of the future. We have already written about Moo Music and Mini Maestros and here we discuss our third musical experience with Music in Unison. Music in Unison is … Continue reading The musicians of the future- Music in Unison
Phoebe loves a good bath and so finding herself in there at 12pm in the afternoon was a real treat! The events leading up to that early bath involved splattered, smeared and smudged paint, cut grass which found its way into every nook and cranny, along with a nice portion of green rice. No this wasn’t some ultra modern nouvelle cuisine, this was a morning … Continue reading Mucky Monkeys – Liverpool
It’s never the things you expect that trip you up and after getting through the early trials of breast feeding, creating routines, sleep training and the general ‘getting out of the house in less than two hours’ challenges that come with early motherhood I never expected to be so thrown by the weaning process. I consider myself to be quite a relaxed parent and … Continue reading Selena’s Suppers- Baby Led Weaning Workshop
It’s 4pm and as kids everywhere are winding down from their days at school their little brothers and sisters are just getting started as Mini Maestros begins at Bean There Coffee Shop. The class is the ultimate opportunity for your own mini maestro to express themselves through music. Whether banging a drum, shaking a bell or dancing with mum during the disco section, music floods … Continue reading Mini Maestros- Rise Music Education
The activities we do with our little ones are most often about the benefits for them. The development, the social time, the exercise, but as we enter the holiday season I’m loving seeing the posts from parents whose holidays have been transformed by Water Babies sessions. Not only are there videos and photos from proud parents of their little fish jumping in, swimming along and … Continue reading The Pay Off
Finding balance and feeling content is so difficult to achieve, we spend a lot of time being the person or listening to the person who complains about work or the kids, or both! So it was absolutely refreshing to meet Heather, mum of four and Water Babies instructor and hear her genuinely rave about her work and life as a mum. The fascinating thing about … Continue reading The Mum behind the wet-suit
It’s hard to believe that every day, across the UK, 684 women go through a miscarriage, 152 babies are born too early and 10 babies are stillborn. Baby loss is preventable, we know this because people who are cared for in Tommy’s clinics are more likely to leave with healthy babies. For this reason it is essential that we keep funding Tommy’s to develop their … Continue reading Phoebe is swimming for Tommy’s
