The end is in sight, thankfully! Much as I don’t want this baby to arrive before he is fully ready and done growing I actually would be happy if we could just fast forward the next couple of weeks! I am so over not sleeping and having no energy. The bump is gigantic, my waddle is pronounced and my…
A nicer week than last week, sponsored by naps, baby-parps and not a lot else! I celebrated it being a Sunday by going to do a food shop ON MY OWN! This may seem like a boring and tedious task to many but the opportunity to wander (okay, waddle) freely round the supermarket without a whining toddler in the trolley…
Shopping for presents for friends and family is one of my favourite things to do, even if I sometimes need a good wander around the shops for inspiration. These days I am too pregnant to wander and it becomes more of a waddle, and a painful one at that! When the new baby arrives a casual stroll round the shops…
If I was on death row and had to choose my ‘last supper’ I’d ask for Chinese food, hands down. I am well aware that what we know in the UK as ‘Chinese food’ probably bears little resemblance to traditional Chinese food, but hey I love how it tastes and I love the variety of dishes you can get all…
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…
2nd, 3rd & 4th May 2015 Foodies Festival, the UK’s largest celebration of food & drink returns to Brighton Hove Lawns on the 2nd, 3rd & 4th May this year, for its sixth year running! There are top chefs cooking in the Chef’s Theatre; wine, beer, and cocktails in the Drink’s Theatre and kids can learn to cook too in the Children’s Cookery Theatre. This…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
