Things my toddler does that I wish she wouldn’t

A list of things my toddler does that I wish she wouldn’t… Closes the toilet lid and attempts to flush it, often when I’m still sat on it. She also loves to throw anything and everything she can into the bath tub, keys, unopened post, shoes you name it. Refuses to let me help her put her wellies on, so…

Using Cloth Nappies – FAQs

I seem to have accidentally (but very happily!) become an advocate for using reusable nappies over the last few months and have been answering lots of questions from ‘real life’ friends, people in my facebook birth month group, a few on twitter and some on instagram too! I thought I should gather all the cloth nappy FAQs here in the…

Introducing Babymoov!

  I am so excited to announce that for 2015 I will be working with Babymoov as an ambassador! My first ambassadorship, and with an amazing company with brilliantly innovative and useful products to help make life with a baby as easy as possible. They create and develop products that fit into a range of categories, from safety, to comfort…

Babywearing: A Rockin’ Baby ring sling

Although we will eventually get a buggy that will hold both children at some point (when we have decided which one we want, and we’re running out of time!) I am really hoping to do a lot more babywearing earlier with this new arrival. That way I can take Athena out with our normal single pushchair and not have too…

7 ideas for child free time

So the days are getting lighter and Spring is practically upon us. What better excuse do you need to offload the kids onto a doting grandparent, or willing babysitter for some nice one to one time with your partner? Obviously my ideas depend on how young your children are and what your budget is but I’ve composed a list of things…

Kids don’t come with a manual

Those who know me personally will probably know that I am not generally one for ‘self help’ or advice style books, being a fairly stubborn and headstrong person I tend to think I know best, or at least try and work things out for myself first. However I was given the opportunity to read ‘Kids don’t come with a Manual…

Win a Personalised Makeup bag with Photo Panda [ended]

Please tell me I’m not the  only one who flings things into bags willy-nilly and then can’t find them again? I was getting so fed up rooting around in the bottom of my handbag or changing bag to find what I needed that I decided to be a little more organised and keep things in separate little bags, and this…

Pregnancy: Project B box Nest

This months theme is ‘Nest’ which is something I have been doing lots of, as you may have noticed from previous blog posts! I am definitely (almost!) ready for this baby, and have been clearing and cleaning out our home like a woman possessed! I need to buy shares in a bin-bag company I think! The 2 most obvious tools…

Stuff on a Sunday #21

This week was sponsored by the words tired and stressful. My first full week of Maternity leave went like this: Sunday seems like so long ago that I genuinely don’t remember what I did (which seems to be a running pattern, as I swear I wrote something similar last week!) but I think perhaps that was the day my friend…

Cake Maternity Sleepwear

The moment I walk in the door these days I get out of my clothes and bra and into PJs, being this pregnant means that even though I’m wearing maternity clothes I’m just comfortable! Waistbands dig into the bump, or if they’re under the bump they put pressure on my bladder! Bra straps are like torture devices and I’m too…

Bambino Mio All-in-ones – the overnight test!

A couple of weeks ago you may have seen me post this video on instagram showcasing four new prints from Bambino Mio (I’ve popped it at the end of this post too!) The four new nappy prints are awesome! I think my favourite is Circus Time though even the little popcorn containers have ‘BM’ on them! The all in one…
