Arlo has now outgrown his Totsbots Teenyfit nappies so I thought I’d write an update on how we’re getting on with our cloth bum journey! Teenyfits are smaller versions of the Easy Fits and they’re designed to fit from 5lbs to around 12lbs, and adorably cute! Arlo wore his first cloth nappy at a day old, in the hospital. It…
Last week I gathered together four ‘mummy friends’ that I’ve met since having Athena to have a natter about breastfeeding with caffeine and cake as part of my role as a Medela Mum. Emily is a Programme Coordinator and her son S is 2, Sally is a Yoga instructor and Author and has a daughter, B who is 18 months…
One of my very favourite instagram mamas Nicki tagged me to answer 11 questions via her blog ‘On the changing mat’ so here are my answers! 1. Would you consider yourself to be a tidy person or a messy person? Messy. No doubt about it. I let things get to a certain state then do a mass tidy, which…
Frankfurt isn’t top of the list of German cities to visit, but I think it should be! I went in 2012 for three days with Sam and we didn’t get to do everything on our list! I’m sharing some photos from our visit now as part of the #NoFilter campaign with London City Airport (you can read more about the…
A month ago we started sleeping on a new Memory Foam mattress from Dormeo. The mattress itself is thinner than a sprung mattress but as you lay on it still feels supportive, even for my husband who’s a lot heavier than me! He was initially a little sceptical when he saw that the mattress was thinner than our other…
Much as at the start of last week I thought summer would never arrive I think it’s safe to say after a bit of sunburn and a weekend spent outside in the sun that it definitely has! We just have to hope it sticks around now! Tesco Clubcard have brought back their amazing Boost scheme so you can get even…
Breastfeeding can limit your clothing choice somewhat, but there are ways round that without living in maternity clothes that might be a bit too baggy post baby. Before I had Athena I was very much a dress wearer. I think I owned one pair of jeans and really only wore them for long country walks. It turns out however that many…
Athena is two today! She is the girl who… Likes to brush her teeth (aka suck toothpaste off the brush) and wash her hands about 6 times a day Loves to nap for around two hours a day (hallelujah) Isn’t great at sharing, one for you, three for her! Doesn’t like vegetables (surprise surprise) Asks to be strapped into…
A couple of weeks ago I headed to the Library with Athena for toddler rhyme time. Obviously Arlo was with us but was happily snoozing in the sling. For the uninitiated Rhyme Time is a few nursery rhymes with actions and a story, led by an overly enthusiastic library worker (well, four at our local library for some reason) along…
Anyone who was reading my blog at the start of the year may remember me mentioning that Sam went off on a ‘lads holiday’ to Morzine in France for a snowy holiday, where he broke his elbow on the first day snowboarding! Well somehow he has persuaded me to go next year with him! In fact I didn’t need much…
Before Arlo arrived this lovely little sleepsuit arrived for him from Zippysuit, but I had to wait a little while for him to grow into it, but now it well and truly fits and I love it! The obvious difference between this and a regular sleepsuit is the zip, it runs up one leg to the neck, which makes…
George challenged me to create three looks with one hero item, on order to take a capsule wardrobe on holiday. Now we’re going to pretend I’m off on a child free holiday in the sun this summer, perhaps Crete or Rhodes… (I’m actually not going away at all this year sadly but a girl can dream!) I decided to go…
