Having grown up in a house with a father for a teacher, I was involved in education and school life from a very young age. It seemed logical that I should study to be a teacher. Once I qualified, I taught ages four to eleven for 8 years in primary school, both in South Africa and in the United Kingdom.

At some point in my teaching career I came to realise how little ‘real’ information there was for parents. I would get the same questions from friends and parents mainly about keeping the children learning and engaged and this only increased when I gave birth to my daughter.

Suddenly I was propelled into the confusing world of toddler groups, art clubs, music and sport clubs … the list was endless, each one proclaiming to be the best thing for my child. How would I choose, what was really the right thing and how could I be sure that I was doing the right thing as a mother?

So I set about researching a variety of topics that either I or friends wanted to know more about … and after almost 3 years of collecting information and talking to other parents I found that there was not really a site dedicated to this age group.

And so ToddleBabes was born. What better than to have ONE place for all the information a parent might need about raising their baby and toddler …

Now a mother of a gorgeous 4 year old girl, a precious 2 year old boy with my third baby due in July 2010, I have created this space for other parents, just like me, to meet, chat, share ideas, get advice and find out useful tips and ideas. My aim is to save you time by giving you everything you may need all in one place.

I do hope that you find this a useful tool and I look forward to chatting with you on the blog.

Happy parenting!
