My new favorite toy is the BT video baby monitor we were recently sent. Forget Mad Men and Alcatraz, the new show everyone is talking about is the Big Brother Show. In his cot bed at 7pm every night I thought he was putting his head down and sleeping. Thanks to the lovely new video…

Books for little learners
Big Brother and Little Sis were sent some lovely new books from the little learners range. They are the perfect age for these colourful picture books and we’ve all been enjoying taking some time to look through them together. I often forget the simple pleasures that come from looking through a picture book. Miraculously the…
Milton Mini Portable Soother Steriliser
The very word Milton is synonymous with sterilising. It also makes me think of my mum who loves to remind me that when I was a baby she had to sterilise my bottles using Milton and cold water for hours on end. Thank goodness things have moved on. Not only do modern mums benefit from…
Olympic cupcakes
As we passed the 100 day milestone to the Olympic Games last week my thoughts turned crafty! What could we make? We applied for tickets for three events and we know we’ve got some tickets, we’re just not sure for what events or if we’re able to take Little Sis as we applied when I…
Adventures with gNappies

They give you two…
Thomas & Friends: Rescue on the Rails new DVD
You may know that the toddler lives and breathes Thomas the Tank Engine all day long. You may have a son just like him. He goes to sleep in his Thomas pyjamas, wakes up and puts his Thomas slippers on, gets dressed in his Thomas clothes and plays trains all day long. At meal times…
Thomas the Tank Engine birthday cake
There’s a great article in the latest issue of Gurgle magazine on how to throw the perfect party. I was pleased to see that Big Brother is ahead of himself, having a Thomas the Tank Engine themed party at the grand old age of 2! We knew that we wanted to make a special cake…
First tastes
It’s now been a couple of weeks since we’ve been giving Little Sis a taste of what she’s missing out on! Over the weeks she’s really begun to open her mouth in anticipation and she’s finally grasped what to do with the puree when it’s in her mouth. It’s amazing to watch and she seems…
Moving on
We’ve just had one of those weekends where nothing has really happened but we’ve spent a lot of money. I had a tooth out, we got an imprint of Little Sis’s hand and foot prints, a lovely lunch out, the weekly food shop, all pretty mundane really. What we should have been doing is getting…
