Pumpkin carving for beginners
As it’s Edward’s first Halloween we decided to go all out to have a party to remember. Edward had two outfits, or a morning and afternoon outfit, as he is a messy eater! This morning he wore a skeleton outfit and this afternoon a pumpkin outfit (hat knitted by nanny!). As well as an outfit…
Our Stokke obsession
Just before we were about to start weaning Edward we looked around for a highchair. We wanted something a bit different whilst being practical and affordable. We decided on a Stokke Tripp Trapp but could only find two suppliers in London – Harrods or Born! Luckily Born is based near us in Stoke Newington so…
Sticky ginger cake
I decided I had to make Amy’s sticky ginger cake as the pictures looked so good. The recipe was really easy to follow and I whipped it up whilst Edward took a nap one afternoon. The top was lovely and crisp whilst the middle was gooey. The stem ginger added a bit of texture which…

The Baby Show
Today we visited The Baby Show. We spent 4 hours visiting stands, playing with the latest baby toys, tasting the latest snacks and collecting goody bags like there was no tomorrow! I won tickets, and an essentials b.box which I collected today, from Koo-di. The Show was an experience like I’ve never experienced before and…
A tourist in our own city
Today we met my cousin and her family as she hadn’t yet met Edward. We had lunch in the cafe at the Mamas and Papas on Regent Street. The food is delicious, the location is perfect and it’s never too busy as not many people seem to know about it. Edward got lots of kisses…
