If you follow me on instagram you might know I’m a big fan of babywearing and being a mum to two children close in age wouldn’t be half as easy if I didn’t carry Arlo so much. The newest carrier we’ve been using is the BabyBjörn One. Now the BabyBjörn name has been synonymous with baby carriers for many years,…
Although Arlo has been cruising along the furniture for a few months now he’s not walking on his own yet (which I am kind of pleased about as at least I know he can only go as far as the end of the sofa at the moment!) We’ve been using the Fisher Price Zebra Walker to help him take his…
There are a few things about blogging that I’d love to stick into Room 101 never to be seen again. These are things that annoy me as a blog reader…
Some people are planners – they love to get everything in place, safe and secure, before they even contemplate starting on the next step. And some people are Pantsers – literally, they ‘fly by the seat of their pants’ as the Americans say, they’re impulsive, and plans mean nothing to them. For a lot of the time, these two types of…
Here are 12 reasons that I love my BabyMule changing bag… It’s not one but three bags, rucksack, shoulder bag and hang-from-pram bag. It goes in the washing machine and comes out as good as new. I repeat, YOU CAN WASH IT! There is a pocket for everything. I am still discovering them now… Inside the biggest compartment there is…
The wonderful Italian island of Sicily, located in the historical centre of the Mediterranean is a wonderful place to visit- not only for adults, but also for children of all ages. There are so many exotic and adventurous things to see and do that it is impossible not to stir the imagination of your kids as they become enraptured in…
Happy Mothers day, if you’re a mama! I am up in Norfolk having a little break. We’re staying with Sam’s mum seeing as he is gallivanting round Scotland doing ‘wild camping’ and snowboarding. Hopefully he’ll return in one piece!
I can almost guarantee that I’ll not be woken up with flowers, tea in bed and a bunch of flowers this Mother’s Day as Sam will be on a ski slope somewhere near Ben Nevis and I’ll be in Norfolk with his family. This is fine with me really as we don’t really go in for special days preferring to…
Another month and I’ll be writing Arlo’s one year update, doesn’t time fly!? This month has been overshadowed by illness in the first part of the month with Arlo getting a v&d bug lasting almost a week! It was miserable for him (and me) and he became a clingier than normal constantly breastfeeding baby. Almost like reverting to being a newborn…
Little Tikes have made the leap from toys to travel, and we were lucky enough to be sent their Stroll n Go stroller to put to the test. I’ll admit that i’m not a huge fan of strollers, much preferring the sturdiness and adaptability of a bigger pushchair so I was keen to put it through its paces. The Stroll…
February has been a funny one for us all, it seems to have dragged too. For some reason the lack of sleep I’m getting has really started to affect my day to day life. I find myself making wrong turns in the car when I know exactly where I should be going, snapping more and forgetting what i’m saying half way…
When people ask what I ‘do’ all day with the kids I always want to answer sarcastically ‘sit on my bum eating biscuits, watching Cbeebies and building towers for Arlo to knock over’ but actually it is all of that plus two freelance jobs (social media management for small businesses and managing my own blog) plus I’m also back at…
