A couple of weeks ago Athena and Arlo received a lovely gift in the post each from the fantastic We Are Scamp! A company developed by two sisters to create wonderful, quirky and cute bits and bobs for children, all personalised and all stylish! You can also get more adult things, like gifts for teachers and adults too, even wedding favours! Arlo was lucky enough to get a hanging mobile, which hangs just below the…
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.
