Shaking and banging things is quickly becoming a favourite activity for Arlo (shortly behind grabbing hair and chewing on everything in sight) so the Jinglers from Ambi Toys are perfect for him! Jinglers are a set of six interlocking blocks in the signature bright primary colours that Ambi Toys are known for, each containing… Read More
So, I’ve started to think about Christmas, and seem to be one of the last! I know a few people who have done all their gift buying already! I’m just starting to think about ideas, nowhere near actually purchasing anything! This will be Arlo’s first christmas so he won’t really know what’s happening. Christmases… Read More
Arlo has some new travelling buddies for trips out in the buggy! The Ted & Tess Pram String from Ambi Toys has been accompanying us and Arlo loves to play with the little bears! There are five coloured bears on an elastic with two plastic rings at either end to attach it to your buggy,… Read More
Every baby with an older sibling needs their own little island of protected space away from trampling feet and grabby hands and for Arlo that’s his Fisher Price baby gym! Suitable from birth (and it seems like only a few weeks ago that when he was on it he couldn’t even reach the animal!) right into… Read More

Athena only ever asks to watch three programs on TV. One of them is Bing, and it’s the least objectionable of the choices! I like it because each little episode has a nice moral to the story, and it deals with every issues that a toddler comes across; Sharing, potty training, losing things and… Read More
Arlo loves to look at himself and I mean really loves it! A few weeks ago we were in a restaurant that had mirrored dividers behind the booths and he spent most of the meal looking over my shoulder and grinning at himself like a complete loon, much to the amusement of us and the family… Read More
I love wooden toys, they last forever, they look nicer and bit’s don’t break off them when they’re flung about the place by an angry/happy toddler! We have four new additions to our wooden collection, they’re ‘Anamalz‘ from Wooden Toy Shack, a new brainchild from Brighton dads Sean, Alex & Rob. Not only is the website… Read More
