Last Friday I was invited along to the launch of the new Stokke Home collection which was being unveiled to the world for the first time at The Baby Show. We were privileged enough to have the designer talking us through the concept from inception to the final products, and I defy anyone not to… Read More
We don’t have the glorious benefit of a spare room, and if we did it would become a nursery for the new arrival anyway! So sadly I do most of my blogging from the sofa, but this is getting problematic for a couple of reasons. The first is only temporary, and that is that it… Read More
