The final #RespectThePasta challenge was ‘to get the whole family involved with pasta’ and I’ll admit I took this one in a bit of an odd direction, but there is pasta included I promise! You can see all my previous challenges as set by Ask Italian by clicking here! I always was a pasta fan… Read More
Pinterest is full of amazing baby bedrooms, I’ve stopped looking at it in fact because in her small double room it’s just not going to happen! However I wanted to work with what we’ve got and spruce up Athena’s nursery now she’s a) old enough to take interest in her surroundings and b) big… Read More
My baby loves music almost as much as she loves grapes (which is about as much as I love chocolate digestives, lots!) So when a parcel of musical goodies arrived in the post from Fisher Price’s musical toy range she was pretty pleased, she’d have something to make noise with whilst bouncing around to whatever… Read More
Last week I swapped all of Athena’s 9-12 month clothes from the 12-18 month lot. I’d been squirreling away on ebay buying bundles, buying the odd bit here and there when I saw it, and had a lot of things given to us from my friend Amy now her daughter has grown out of… Read More

She went from eating everything offered to basically squishing everything and… Read More
I’ve written before about how changing bags are the new handbag for me… I have a total of 5 changing bags but am currently using this Skip Hop bag. Its pockets and pouches are full to the brim and Kiddicare asked me if I was willing to share the contents of our changing bag… Read More
This week has been a proper mixed bag. Sam finished at the job with the shitty shifts and started at a new job, only to be told they are training him to go and manage a different hotel asap. This is good because it is more money but bad because it is further away and… Read More
I have been doing a lot of ebay and charity shop scouring recently with the sole aim to build up a library of wooden toys, and (if I do say so myself) I think I have done quite well! I will admit that part of the reason for loving wooden toys is purely aesthetical… Read More
We’ve been using this travel system for around 7 months now, and now we’ve used it in all positions I thought I’d do a proper review. We originally had a 2nd hand Mamas and Papas Pliko pramette but I didn’t like the handles (not a bar, 2 separate handles so steering with one hand was… Read More
