We were offered the chance to review a buggysnuggle. I don’t know if you’ve heard of them but they are basically a universal footmuff. Now, you know I’m a pram junkie and have used both Quinny and Bugaboo footmuffs but I hadn’t purchased a footmuff for my Maclaren Quest Sport so I was looking forward to trying the buggysnuggle out. When the buggysnuggle arrived I ripped the packaging off and set about putting it on our Maclaren. The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to attach to the buggy. The design means it doesn’t have to be…

We were recently offered the chance to review an iPad app called This Place is a Zoo. Edward is drawn to all our electronic gadgets and is particularly attracted to my iPhone and iPad so we were very happy to try it out. The app features Captain Wallace and you join him on a guided visit through the Alphabet Zoo. This Place is a Zoo has been designed to help children learn their alphabet and animals through sights and sounds designed to spark dialogue between parent and child. Edward is only 11 months but is drawn to moving pictures and…

One of my Day Zero goals has been to get through Edward’s teething. I noticed an increase in his dribbling at about 4 months and foolishly thought this was teething and we would soon see a tooth! How wrong was I?! I really wish someone had told me about teething as I was completely unprepared for the disruption it would bring. His first tooth finally came through at 10 months. I was surprised how hard the whole process was (and continues to be) for myself and Edward. When it started we had just begun to get into a night time…

Pampers kindly sent us tickets to attend The Baby Show, so this morning we headed down to the Excel Centre. We had a great time and managed to purchase a snooze shade which is the only item I really went looking for. The show seemed smaller than the one held at Olympia but this was a good thing as it seemed much more manageable to get round. The show was well set out and the aisles between the stalls were wide enough to accommodate buggies galore! We made good use of the Pampers changing station and found out we were…

Today is the culmination of operation back to work. This afternoon I have a meeting with my manager to discuss my proposal for flexible working and I’m scared! A few weeks ago I prepared a document detailing how I could squeeze my full-time job into a three day week. I’ve been trying to anticipate the questions I’ll be asked but I’m so out of practice that my mind wanders off on other topics, such as the food order I really need to place, birthday cards to post and Edward’s first birthday celebrations. Since submitting my proposal I’ve got a sexy…

Tommee Tippee, well know for their feeding and weaning products, have just launched a new Closer to Nature hygiene range and Edward and I were invited to attend the launch at Maggie & Rose.

The range consists of a hand serum, Steri-fluid, surface spray and soother, teat and teether wipes.
