To capture the highs – and lows – of parenting, Tommee Tippee have come up with the alternative Mini Moments milestone cards.
Hands up if most of the photos on your phone and camera are of your kids? *Puts own hand up*. When Eliza was born, I had a set of the traditional milestone cards — you know the sort, the ones that save that special moment to photographic memory forever. But past 12 months they weren’t much use, whereas the Tommee Tippee Mini Moments cards can be used from tiny tot to pre-schooler!
No matter how much we love it, there are definitely days when parenting isn’t all sunshine and roses – the long nights, the mess, the unpredictability and relentlessness of it all. Right? So, on those days, flip the cards over…
We have all been there. The brand new outfit you treated yourself to, covered in baby puke. The days when your little one just cannot be reasoned with, and everything you do is wrong. You’re not alone. Toddlers are capable of driving the toughest parent to drink some days – and it’s totally OK to feel like that. #ParentOn.

A hot bath and an early night.
I sit on the toilet with a book & lock the door!
I just try to be as positive as possible and remind myself tomorrow is a new day. I’m learning to be more patient as I get older 😉
remember that they do sleep eventually!
Have a sit down and a big cup of tea when she’s gone to bed
By taking a deep breath and telling myself “it’s only one day, tomorrow is another day”, or make popcorn and pop on the kids favourite dvd
I try with a smile or counting to 10 before speaking to them
Playing games on my phone and riding the wave
Have ‘me’ time
Have ‘me’ time – bath, reading, listening to music etc.
Deep breaths and count to ten.
Try to remember that tomorrow is a new day!
Just to take a deep breath and push through it
I just focus on the good days & happy moments! Plus a glass of wine and bar of chocolate seem to have healing powers x
Count down til bedtime!
When my partner comes home from work I leave the twins with him for 5 mins, go sit on the side of the bath and stare at the floor, When they’re in bed I sit in silence for another 10 mins before catching up on TV
Relax in a hot bath once hubbys home and the kids are in bed xx
Breath and think happy thoughts
Relax when they are in bed and remember how fast they grow.
A glass of red, bath or a cuddle!
