Today I have a guest post from Bab Troller who loves getting out of town from time-to-time, taking the kids with half of the time. As I have just booked my first holiday without the baby (not till November though!) she’s sharing her tips for taking a break without your children in tow! Hopefully most of you live near family…
I used to have a huge collection of handbags. Now I have a growing collection of changing bags. but my newest addition LOOKS more like a handbag than a changing bag. Win win for this previously handbag obsession mama! I was sent the Minnie Amelie bag in steel blue from Mia Tui, it has contrasting stitching and silver…
As I am still away on holiday i’m delighted to share a guest post with you from fellow blogger and new mama Mel. I first discovered Mel on instagram and then went and found her blog. She is super talented with all things crafty and has a super little boy called Ellis! On her blog you’ll find posts about parenting,…
Todays post is a guest post from fellow Brighton blogger Vicky, who blogs at Ville de Brighton. On her blog you’ll find a glorious assortment of things, from toddler-style to books and cafe reviews. By day she runs her own PR business and by night she is a maman to her beautiful Little G. You can find her on twitter…
As I didn’t do a proper 7 month update I made an effort to do a proper one this month, more for me to look back on than anything else! Athena turned 8 months old this week, she is now on the 91st percentile for weight & height and is a chunky 20.5lbs! She’s in size 4 nappies and 6-9…
So it won’t be long before I have to crack the 9-12 month wardrobe out, although Athena is only 8 months old today! Most of her trousers and leggings are too short now, and some are getting too tight round her roly poly middle. Tops however are fine mostly, and she’s still in some 3-6 month vests from M&S even!…
I think Matalan is a great retailer, my reasons for which are at the bottom of this post, so I was pretty chuffed when they asked if I wanted to review a couple of items from their sportswear range.Though I did feel guilty that I hadn’t actually done anything much that could be classed as ‘fitness’ for a little…
On Friday just gone I headed up to London with my ma and the baby. I love London, I was born there and my parents lived there for years till I was 4 when we moved to the South Coast. I love exploring and learning all about it, although I don’t think I’d like to live there. It was wet…
When I had a self imposed duvet day (well, in my case a fluffy blanket on the sofa day) last week I found myself day-dreaming on pinterest. I ended up browsing various nursery decor boards and one of the images I found was a 3d elephant for the wall, which took me to the children’s section of the Urbanara website.…
Last weekend was my birthday, and I packed more tea, cake, ice cream and food into a few days than I thought was possible. I ate lunch out for my birthday itself (post here) and then in the evening we watched The wolf of wall street with a tub of Ben and Jerrys core ice cream each. I liked…
I love reading to Athena. I think sometimes I read for her more than for me, but I’m alright with that because I get to find some new children’s books and rediscover some of my old favourites! For the first post in this series I’m going to talk about the three that we (or I!) have read most over the…
A couple of weeks ago I was sent a lovely bottle of The Body Shop ‘Vitamin E Overnight serum-in-oil’ to trial before it got released in shops. It comes in a pink bottle with a pipette, and you get 28ml for £15. This new overnight oil has the highest wheat germ oil content of all the products in the…
