Pressing, sliding, spinning and dinging. All things activities that little hands love to do, and there is all this and more with the cleverly designed Ambi Toys Activity Case. Easy to carry with the carry handle, this is a surprisingly lightweight toy too. We’ve found it really easy to take with us to pop under the buggy for amusing Arlo…
I’ve been a bit slack on the Sunday update posts really, the last one was in September I think! In my defence nothing really exciting has happened, and sometimes when I think back over the past week it’s just a blur of bedtimes, playgroups and park trips. This last week however has been really long, stressful and tiring with a…
This week our mortgage got approved, and the survey carried out on our ‘last decorated in the 70’s’ flat, so with any luck we’ll be in sooner rather than later! The flat will need a lot of work, although we will give ourselves a few months grace before we start on any work, and the get Christmas out of the way…
Today is national #HugaBearday! Both Arlo and Athena have been hugging the From Babies With Love Bear rather a lot recently, along with lots of stroking and kissing too! Available solely from Boots the From Babies with Love Bear is weighted slightly so he always stays sat up ready and waiting for his next cuddle. The From Babies with Love Bear…
When the weather gets colder it’s always nice to try and revive my skin with a new routine, so step in the Oils of Life from The Body Shop. I’ve been using the range for almost a month now and my skin is feeling and looking good! The range Combines three oils from around the world, specifically chosen for their…
I initially thought I wouldn’t have much to write about for this months update, Arlo had already started to taste foods just before six months and was sitting up and wriggling backwards worm-style and nothing else seemed to have changed but then a few days ago he started to crawl forwards. Nothing is safe now, with a combination of wobbly…
Last Sunday I signed up to ramblers.org.uk and looked up a nice circular walk we could do as a family, and chose Slindon in West Sussex. We visited last year too but Athena was obviously not able to walk as far as she was only one and a bit, and there is an awesome pumpkin display each year too! We’ve decided…
For many people, their wedding day is one of the most important days of their lives so it’s only natural that it’s a day where all brides and grooms want to feel and look their best. Typically, one of the first things that a bride thinks about when starting to plan her wedding is how to lose a few pounds…
Since Arlo arrived I’ve been increasingly absorbed in the wonderful world of Baby wearing. I ‘wore’ Athena on and off but never more than she was in a buggy. Arlo on the other hand spent his first three months in a stretchy wrap, snuggled close to my chest. Once he got too heavy to be in it all day comfortably…
I wrote about the lovely day I had with I Just Love It a couple of weeks ago, and since then I have been dipping in and out of the website as I create my list of presents for friends and family, as well as shortlisting a few things that I’d love for the our home when we eventually get into…
These muffins are just delicious, most muffins are in fact but seeing as it’s almost halloween and Sam bought a tin of pumpkin filling at the supermarket a few months ago I thought I would try something a bit pumpkiny! I adapted my go-to muffin recipe but doubled the quantities to allow for moistness of the pumpkin filling (and lessened…
