Where we live you’re not someone unless you have a Bugaboo. When we found out we were expecting we booked a nursery appointment at John Lewis and discussed pram options! We both liked the Bugaboo Cameleon and were lucky enough to have friends who no longer needed theirs. It has lasted us well and been…

When do NCT friends become friends?
I really struggle to make friends and I’m finding being on maternity leave harder than I expected. Much as I love Edward I think motherhood can be quite lonely. All people want to talk about are babies! Our babies are the only things in common amongst the new mums’ groups I’ve joined but I find…
Nursery knits
This beautiful facecloth was made from a pattern in Natural Nursery Knits. I bought this book from my favourite shop in Ryde when Edward was a few weeks old. It is a lovely book, full of unusual patterns and gorgeously illustrated. Now, I can’t knit so you may wonder why I bought a book of…
Reversible hoodie pattern from Kitschy Coo
A couple of weeks ago Kitschy Coo put a call out to test her new reversible hoodie pattern. I leapt at the chance. I’m a complete novice crafter but love handmade so I had to give it a go. I chose a fleecy orange for the lining and green camouflage for the shell. The pattern…

I had seen lots of mentions of Heather’s Secret Post Swap in the blog world and as I love swapping I decided to join in the fun. When partners were assigned I had a couple of weeks to cyber stalk my partner and find out what she likes. Cyber stalking felt very wrong but through…
Recent wins
One thing I love about mummy blogs is the opportunity to learn about new products and win them! My maternity pay will soon be coming to an end and we don’t have the money to spend like we used to. I’ve been really lucky recently and won a boppy feeding pillow from And Then There…
Nutella cupcakes
A couple of weeks ago I kept coming across lots of mentions of Nutella. It seems some lucky bloggers were invited to attend an event where the nutritional benefits of Nutella were extolled. We always have a jar of Nutella in the cupboard as I am quite partial to Nutella on my toast for breakfast….
