I always thought I wouldn’t be one of “those” parents who plonked their child in front of the TV and while, of course, I don’t judge (well, not much…), I thought – pre baby – I’ll never do that… and in truth, I don’t generally… But, as Allegra has got a little older and a lot more active, sometimes, well sometimes, there’s nothing for it but a little Peppa…
Because of Peppa…
- I can have a shower and get ready for work in the morning
- We had an easy and stress(ish)-free plane journey to/from Italy on holiday recently
- We were able to eat dinner at the restaurant in our hotel on holiday every evening in relative peace and without disturbing the other diners (hooray for the iPad!)
- I can occasionally go to the toilet alone in my own house
- I can write this blog post…
So, thank you Peppa!
We’re hoping to go to Peppa Pig World next Friday for full immersion in Peppa – watch this space, there’ll no doubt be a full report!


aww the second pic is so cute! ive done this with my 2 boys too
Sometimes needs must!
You can’t beat a bit of Peppa…we have to shower after all !
Also in the highly commended category for “helpful services to mummies needing showers” are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Playschool.
Forever grateful to them!
Oh yes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a favourite here too, but Peppa is top dog
Couldn’t agree more – she’s a lifesaver! The only disappointment is that it’s on Channel 5 so we’ve had to download various series to avoid the ads. Her obsession with muddy puddles isn’t helpful either – my boy is now inclined to jump into every pool of eater he sees, wellies or not!
hahaha allegra hasn’t quite got into muddy puddles yet, but she has started to say the word puddles, so maybe it’s only a matter or time…
what is happening to our sanity? I hope you enjoy Peppa’s World on Friday and I expect photos and plenty of Oinks, a video of you all oinking would be good x
hahaha i know, hilarious! we did have a great time at peppa pig world, lots of fun and a blog post to follow! x
Love it my son id only 6 months and in the night garden does it for him!
haven’t really explored in the night garden, might try that out if interest in peppa seems to wane x
I was exactly the same pre baby and to be fair with Burton TV was limited and didnt make an appearance unit he was about 8 months old and even then it was just In The Night Garden. As you say, it does help like making meals, drinking a warmish cuppa etc…
i really want to take B to Peppa Pig World too x
you should totally go to Peppa Pig World – it’s great fun. am going to do a blog post on it this week x
