I’m so pleased to introduce another local-to-me baby brand this week for ‘what the toddler wore’! Babyzoo is a brand concocted and developed by Karen who turned her hand to kids fashion after working in womenswear and bridal design. The new debut collection is available on etsy right now, with plans to develop a website in the near future. The…
Once Arlo turned 6 months old a couple of weeks ago I started to attempt to get more of a bedtime routine going, in the hopes that it would lead to a more peaceful nights sleep for us all! Sadly he’s still waking up numerous times each night for a feed but that’s fine, but he is falling asleep more…
From Babies With Love is a lovely company, donating 100% of their profits to help less fortunate children all around the world. I’ve written about them here, and introduced Maia who is a baby from Mozambique that was helped after becoming an orphan as a direct result of FBWL funds. Arlo is wearing their organic cotton babygrow in the frog design,…
To me Autumn signals the start of the ‘cosy months’ which come after ‘sweltering months’ and before the ‘freezing months’. Mid september through to Mid December is probably my favourite time of year. Not so cold out that you need so many layers that walking is difficult, but warm enough for a cosy cardi and a scarf at least! Higgidy…
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 a jingly jangly bell inside.…
Last week I wrote a post introducing From Babies With Love, and said I’d be sharing more about our ‘partnered baby’ Maia who lives in Mozambique and has been helped by SOS. Baby Maia joined her SOS family in October 2014, when she was only a few weeks old. Her SOS Mother reports that she likes to sleep in the day… but not…
This month has been a nice one for these Siblings. Arlo is getting a lot more involved in toys (well grabbing for them, anyway) and Athena has started to allow him to sit near her and watch what she’s doing without shouting at him when he grabs something to chew on it. Lots of shared baths have been had now…
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 in our family are quite…
On Tuesday I was invited to a really fun event up in London with I just Love It, a website specialising in personalised gifts for everyone and anyone! They were previously known as ‘Gone digging’ and have been about for around 7 years so are not new to the market by any means, just sporting a snazzy new name! Upon…
A while ago Becky at Little O and me tagged me in the ‘love/hate’ challenge, and I meant to do it at sooner but life got in the way! Here is Becky’s post if you fancy a read Ten things I love… Mint choc chip flavour ice cream. I’m waiting patiently for Ben not Jerry’s to bring back Minter Wonderland!! Our…
I’ve got a gorgeous brand to showcase this week, one that is local to me too! Hiku Designs is run by Aga, a mum who lovingly creates bibs, blankets and other baby bits in some gorgeous designs! Arlo was lucky enough to be sent a Bib & Teether set in an awesome racoon print. The bib is bandana style with…
Another few weeks have shot by since I did a Stuff on a Sunday (although yes, I realise today is Monday!) post but in all fairness we’ve done nothing out of the ordinary really so it’d not be a very exciting read! Playgroups mixed with park trips and at the start of the month a few more splash pad trips!…
