Banana bread recipe

Posted on June 23, 2011October 27, 2014 by jenny

It’s been a while since I baked something, well, at least a week. I can’t bear to let a cake tin go empty! I thought I would make something delicious and healthy as Edward enjoys the odd slice of cake too. Ingredients: 175g self-raising flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 150g caster sugar 3 eggs 3…

Baby’s First Day Out

Posted on June 22, 2011August 15, 2023 by jenny

We had some friends over last week for a playdate. It was fun seeing three little people in the sandpit and great for Edward to have some friends to play with. They are so much younger than Edward that it reminded me just how quickly he’s growing up. It’s hard to believe he 15 months…

Only a couple of sleeps until Cybermummy 11 so I thought I would take the opportunity to write down my thoughts before the event. Cybermummy countdown I’m really looking forward to it.

Posted on June 21, 2011July 22, 2014 by jenny

My lovely Cybermummy sponsor NurseryValue.com asked if I would like to try one of their best-selling strollers. Now you all know how much I love testing new strollers so I was excited to get my hands on a Petite Star Zia in black. The first thing that impressed me was how easy it was to…

Vintage tins

Posted on June 19, 2011May 27, 2024 by jenny

I’ve been on the look out for a suitable tin for my button stash. I inherited a great collection of buttons from my grandmother, the buttons survived but not her old tin. Since then they’ve been stored in various boxes and even an old sweetie jar. Along the way I’ve picked up some lovely tins:…

Review: Nappy Balm from Baby Sensory

Posted on June 18, 2011April 22, 2012 by jenny

We have a collection of nappy balms in different tubes and jars. We’re really fortunate that Edward doesn’t often suffer from nappy rash, only when he has a new tooth coming through or if he has an upset tummy. We were sent a new Nappy Balm from Baby Sensory to try. It’s not just a…

Review: Teething Bling

Posted on June 18, 2011September 4, 2013 by jenny

We were asked if we would like to try teething bling. It’s a great name which hooked me immediately to find out more. A little package duly arrived which I excitedly opened and found contained the loveliest, if unusual, necklace which was beautifully packaged. Teething bling has been designed to help babies who love to…

Cath Kidston cross stitch

Posted on June 16, 2011March 6, 2015 by jenny

My latest favourite craft is cross stitch. I’ve been working my way through my copy of Cath Kidston Stitch which is full of projects which can be made using needlepoint or cross stitch. This pattern turned our bigger than it was supposed to but I’m enjoying the challenge of trying something new. It’s a great…
