What the baby ate

  I’ve not written about Athena’s eating habits for ages, but recently we seem to have leapt a bit of a hurdle with food so I thought I’d do an update. After the side effects of her 12 month jabs we had a week of very little food consumption, which was a bit worrying but after a week or so she…

Education activities in the summer holidays

Though the summer holidays always go a little bit quicker than you’d like, finding enough activities to fill the long, warm days can still be tough. If your kids go to a challenging school like St Faiths Private School Cambridge, chances are that in order to keep their attention for long, activities will need to be interesting and educational as…

Review: Bravado sweetpea nursing bra

I’ve been cycling the same four nursing bras in the fourteen months I’ve been breastfeeding, but for the last few weeks I’ve been wearing a new nursing bra from Bravado. Bravado isn’t a brand I’d tried before but would definitely look at their range in the future after trying this one. The Sweet Pea nursing bra is made of super…

The great outdoors

When I was younger I used to spend pretty much the whole of summer holidays outside. Back then there was a lot less worry for our parents about letting us spend all day outside with friends, and a lot less to keep us interested inside like Dads and computer games (well, I had a mega drive but was only allowed…

Gin Cocktails

      When asked if I wanted to experiment by making some gin cocktails to taste test the Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin from Aldi I agreed, with a lot of encouragement from Sam who loves making cocktails! Oliver Cromwell Dry Gin has picked up top medals at several prestigious drinks award ceremonies this year, scooping the top title…

A ‘good’ Sleeper – how we got there

Suddenly Athena has become a really good sleeper. She was what most people would call a ‘good sleeper’ anyway, as in she slept solidly without waking through the night once she was asleep for a good 10 hours or more. The problem used to be getting her to sleep, at bedtime or nap time. Until she was around 11 months…

Framing my view

  I was recently asked if I would like to try some curtains from a range of ready made curtains from The Natural Curtain Company and to talk about the view through my window, good or bad!  As our living room window faces due south we get lots of natural light throughout the day as the sun passes from east…

In July I

In July I… Started work again after maternity leave. I’ll write more about this soon probably. Started being a lot pickier with what I chose to take on blog wise. I am declining a lot of review offers as I was finding blogging was becoming a chore and not a fun hobby. I’ve also stopped putting pressure on myself to…

Dens and tubes

Athena is loving playing in the make-shift den I built her a few days ago. When she was having her morning nap I opened up a folding table, popped her bean bag chair and some cushions in and flung a spare sheet over it all. I set up her crawl-tunnel (an ikea bargain!) so it poked through one side and…
