Toys can be educational without being boring and dull, and now Athena has reached an age where she understands more about the world and what goes on in it she’s finding a lot more enjoyment in toys that let her use her imagination a bit more. We were asked recently if we would like to choose… Read More
I don’t find it easy to feel good (or dare I say it, glamorous even) when I’m this pregnant. My back and hips ache, I can’t wear proper heels and I generally have naff skin too. However when I went out for my birthday meal last Friday I actually felt glamorous, thanks to Happy Mum… Read More
Over the last few days I have been experimenting with Warburtons Thins as an alternative to ‘normal’ sandwiches. I was sent a variety of Thins to try out, and have been enjoying some delish filling combinations too! I tend to find that a sandwich made with bread has too much bread, which in turn can… Read More
I am so excited to announce that TotsBots are very kindly providing us with everything we need to go from birth to potty in reusable nappies for baby boy, in the hopes that we will be 100% cloth converts, 24/7! I poo-poo’d (ha, get it?) the idea of cloth when I borrowed a couple of cloth nappies… Read More
Sometimes life is just easier without a pushchair, short trips to the shop or home from nursery for example. Although I’m almost 6 months pregnant it hasn’t stopped me from having Athena in a carrier.

So when a… Read More
What is more festive than a baby dressed up as a penguin? Not much! We were very kindly sent a penguin outfit from Time to Dress Up, who have a huge array of dressing up costumes! It took us a little while to decide what to pick, but anyone who knows me knows… Read More
I like the idea of being organised and I start each year with a clean and shiny new way of keeping on top of things. This year I admit that I’ve been pretty good at it, partly through necessity as I’ve finished maternity so have to juggle 2 work rotas (mine and Sam’s) and Athena’s… Read More
On Easter Monday after suffering from three days of excruciating tooth ache I was gobsmacked for another reason, I found out I had won a Cosatto Giggle on Frithas blog Tigerlily Quinn ! I was over the moon, as you can imagine! We’ve now been using our Giggle for three months so I… 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
