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 of parents will need to…
This week has absolutely flown by! This weeks main themes are ‘HOT’ and Charlie and Lola… On Sunday Sam did a half day at work so we took a walk to my friend Anna (Anna’s Drawing Room) Artists Open House, which was lovely! We got to catch up with the lovely duo behind Hello Dodo, eat some home made cake…
“Don’t lift anything heavier than your baby” they told me after my C section.”that includes your toddler”. Oh. So the decision to take the side off Athenas cot was made rather hastily after Arlo arrived home. We didn’t want to do it all of a sudden though in case it was too much change all at once, what with having…
I’m starting to put Arlo in ‘proper’ clothes a lot more, rather than just fancier sleep suits. Saying that though the weather is so hot that at the moment he’s often in a short romper or just a vest! This outfit is from a week or so age before the heatwave arrived. A grey wrap over vest from H&M conscious…
We’ve only been to Cornwall once for a holiday and it was about four weeks before I had Athena. Therefore my energy levels weren’t that high and there were a few things we chose not to do, although climbing all the steps up to the top of Tintagel Castle wasn’t one of them! The lady selling tickets even asked me…
Athena loves planes. Sam loves planes, possibly because his dad was a pilot. His sister works with private jets too so it seems to be in the blood! We decided to give Athena a treat last week and take her to see the planes at Shoreham Airport, although it’s actually Brighton and Hove city airport these days! We took a…
Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently you may be aware we’re in the middle of a heatwave! As someone who carries Arlo in a sling 90% of the time this has meant that we both get sticky and I get paranoid about him getting sunburnt! So this week he’s spent more time in the buggy than ever before…
Welcome to #WhatMyKidDid for July! First, an Arlo update. Arlo is now three months old! Seriously insane, in some ways it feels like he only arrived last week and other times it’s like he’s always been here! Size: Chunky Monkey! I’m not sure exactly how much he weighs but he’s definitely gaining weight so that’s the main thing! Its weigh in…
So almost forgot to write this up but here we go, with a few hours left of June In June I… Started looking for a property to buy, dun dun dunnnnn! Got confused by everything mortgage related! Gained a TWO YEAR OLD. madness. Watched Cinderella (not as bad as I expected) filmwise and Telly wise I’m watching Humans, My…
A couple of weeks ago Athena and Arlo received a lovely gift in the post each from the fantastic We Are Scamp! A company developed by two sisters to create wonderful, quirky and cute bits and bobs for children, all personalised and all stylish! You can also get more adult things, like gifts for teachers and adults too, even wedding…
Sam and I will probably not be having a proper date night out for a few months yet, due to his new job and a small baby, not to mention a toddler! However the toddler goes to bed at bang on seven and stays there for 12 hours and the baby is now starting to allow us to put him…
We live in a first floor flat so have no garden of our own but thankfully have have a nice little communal garden that nobody else uses! The gardener comes every week to mown the lawn and sort out the flowers and shrubbery so it’s a lovely space to chill out in and enjoy being outside without having to go…
