Since Josh arrived we've been doing a LOT of walking. I'll either put him in the sling and go for a wander in the woods or I'll get the pram out and we'll go into Oundle, even if I don't really need anything. So today when the rain set in for the first time in ages, I've been figuring out how to amuse myself when walking isn't really an option.
- Get some exercise inside - Sling em up and toddle around the house getting some boring jobs done, take a walk on a treadmill or just stick some tunes on and amuse bub by doing some mummy dancing!
- Embrace the sofa. And Netflix. And gallons of tea (ok, and cake since you asked so nicely)
- Phone a friend and meet up for a good ol' chinwag
- Take up residence in a cafe with bub and a newspaper
- Take a class. There's normally something on every day so get out there!
- Go swimming - if you can't beat em, join em.
- Make a baby carrier. While bub has a kick about on the playmat, get out those scraps of fabric and look up a design you like online. Most are simple to do and you can save a fortune on a shop-bought one
- Take up card making - stock up for all the birthdays and anniversaries and save some pennies while you're at it
- Read a good book. When bub is a bit bigger and awake more you may not have time!
- Keep your baby record up to date - update the record book, take some photos of bub and do one of those cool hand/feet imprint kits
