Being the parent of a small human doesn’t give you much time to relax, unfortunately! Whilst you’re sharing your home with a small person, you need to have eyes in the back of your head. But no matter how safe you think your home is, everything in the house poses a safety risk. It can… Read More
We are already firm fans of the Lascal Buggy Board and used it on our single buggy instead of bothering with an unwieldy double buggy. I found that even though Athena wasn’t quite two when Arlo arrived with the buggy board, sling and pushchair I could manage every situation, even if they both wanted a… Read More
A few weeks back we put Athena and Arlo into the same bedroom in bunk beds, with Arlo in the bottom bunk of course! We did have a bed rail set up originally, then Hippy Chick asked if we wanted to try out Dream Tubes to help the transition from cotbed to bunk beds. They’re… Read More

It’s not often that two of your favourite brands join up and collaborate, and even less likely when one of those brands is TotsBots, who make the nappies that grace my boy’s bottom daily! However it has happened, TotsBots have joined forces with Joules, that quintessentially british brand to create a new print for their… Read More
My children are definitely grazers rather than three square meals a day types so I tend to always have a selection of little snacks in my bag to keep them happy when we’re out and about. OxoTot recently sent me some bits to help keep Arlo happy with a snack to hand, and something for… Read More
Before I had babies I was under the impression that babies need a lot of stuff. Now I have had two babies I’ve realised that they actually need a lot less stuff than one might think! In fact for the first few months of Arlo’s life I just needed arms, boobs and a baby carrier… Read More
