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… Read More
So what do you buy for a new baby? The vast majority of us go for clothes but how do you make your present memorable? Make the clothes look like a bouquet of flowers of course! Now there are many people out there who are a lot more crafty than I, and a quick look… Read More
We’ve been using the Swoon Up since Arlo was 4 weeks old, although it can be used from birth. He’s now 11 weeks old and we’ve just taken out the newborn cushion as he was out growing it at a rate of knots! It will last him until 9Kgs. The Swoon Up… Read More
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… Read More

Both Arlo and Athena have been riding in style recently in the Silver Cross Pioneer. I’m sure you’ve heard of Silver Cross, they’ve been making prams since 1877, although they look a little different to how they did then! Both Sam and I travelled in style in Silver Cross buggies when we were younger, and… Read More
Because we were away last week on holiday and not posting much I’ve not yet shared that we’ve been chosen to be Ambi Toys Ambassadors! I say we, but really it’s Arlo and Athena who will be putting toys through their paces! You can meet the rest of the Ambi Toys ambassadors here. Ambi is… Read More
One of the not as obvious reasons that having a new baby is ace is the fact that you’ll have muslins to hand at all times. Now everyone knows the more normal uses for them: burp cloth,mopping up baby sick, make-shift bibs and light blankets but there are plenty more uses! In the last five… Read More
