Here are the reviews we’ve done. I’m always honest with what we thought about the products or experiences and am always happy to answer questions too, feel free to give me a shout on social media!
Athena only ever asks to watch three programs on TV. One of them is Bing, and it’s the least objectionable of the choices! I like it because each little episode has a nice moral to the story, and it deals with every issues that a toddler comes across; Sharing, potty training, losing things and… Read More
When The Manduca baby carrier dropped onto the door mat (okay, it didn’t it arrived in a nice box and was handed over by a courier!) I was about 38 weeks pregnant, but that didn’t stop me from trying it out with Athena before her brother arrived! After all, I wanted to test out… Read More
Arlo loves to look at himself and I mean really loves it! A few weeks ago we were in a restaurant that had mirrored dividers behind the booths and he spent most of the meal looking over my shoulder and grinning at himself like a complete loon, much to the amusement of us and the family… Read More
I love wooden toys, they last forever, they look nicer and bit’s don’t break off them when they’re flung about the place by an angry/happy toddler! We have four new additions to our wooden collection, they’re ‘Anamalz‘ from Wooden Toy Shack, a new brainchild from Brighton dads Sean, Alex & Rob. Not only is the website… Read More
Arlo has reached that ‘oh look i’ve managed to grab something in my tiny hand by accident, better stick it in my mouth pronto’ stage so although it doesn’t mean a tooth will appear any time soon it probably means he can start to make use of teethers soon! I think Athena got her first… Read More
I think our car attracts rubbish. Well actually I just have a husband who flings things into the footwells and leaves diet coke bottle lids all over the place. Last week Athena found a random one on a pavement and picked it up and shouted ‘Daddy!!!’ waving it around. So not only is the car… Read More
The Joie Steadi car seat enables your most precious of cargo to travel rear-facing until around four years old (up to 18Kg). In light of recent iSize regulations coming into place that state a child must be rear facing until 15 months as a minimum (more info here) this will be something that a lot… Read More
I have really embraced babywearing since Arlo arrived, I wish I had done it more when Athena was a newborn actually! Arlo gets to have cuddles and snuggles all day as I find it easier to head out with a single buggy for Athena and him in a sling than wrestle with a double buggy!… Read More
Arlo has had two swimming lessons with Water Babies under his belt now, so I wanted to write about our first impressions. Before our course started we were sent an info pack that detailed absolutely everything we needed to know, from where to go (with detailed instructions) and even tips on getting everyone changed successfully!… Read More
Both Arlo and Athena have been riding in style recently in the Silver Cross Pioneer. I’m sure you’ve heard of Silver Cross, they’ve been making prams since 1877, although they look a little different to how they did then! Both Sam and I travelled in style in Silver Cross buggies when we were younger, and… Read More
