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
A shorter than normal post from me today (hurrah! I hear you shout…) Last Sunday we piled in the car and headed off to Wales! Luckily for us around the half way point in Chippenham is where our friend Elisabeth lives so we stopped off to have lunch and a break with her! After a… Read More
Athena loves baths, and she probably gets that from me as I could (and frequently do) spend hours in the bath! To get her out we have to drain the water, take out all the toys and wait for her to get bored or bribe with an extra bed time story! Not long after… Read More
A couple of weeks after Arlo arrived I got a bit gushy on Instagram about how proud I was of Athena and how well she’d taken to her new role of ‘Big Sister’. A few weeks down the line that still stands. So far there has been no hint of jealousy, even when I am… Read More

Leaving the… Read More

If you’ve read my blog over the last month or so you’ll know that Sam my husband took up a new hobby at the same time as Arlo arrived. I think he thought two weeks off work for paternity leave gave him ample free time to get used to his new hobby! He is now… Read More
So last week I announced that I was off to BritMums Live! thanks to my lovely sponsors Cheeky Rascals, so this week I decided to join in with the linky and let people know a little about me and what I want to get out of the conference! Name: Lauren. I’ll also be bringing Arlo… 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
