A couple of weeks ago we bought Edward a Lindam bouncer. It was recommended by all our friends and seemed simple enough to use. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1gJF_QwpxI&fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0] He loves it and spends some time in it each day.

Changing bags
Whilst pregnant I could not decide on a changing bag. I knew I needed one but I couldn’t find one I really liked or justify an Orla Kiely bag. I knew any bag would need to be spacious. I am a hoarder and on a good day I have carried nappies, wipes, nappy bags, bottles…
Cath Kidston Badge blanket
I absolutely adore the badge blanket in the current Cath Kidston catalogue. I think it would be perfect to keep in the car and use when we’re out and about on picnics. However the £60 price tag is a bit steep for my mummy purse and I don’t think my husband would be pleased if…

Through a child's eyes
Having a child makes you see things in a different light. I have a new found appreciation for the world and my life. Today we looked after my 6 year old niece as well as our little one. We let her pick what she wanted to do and went to McDonalds for breakfast followed by…
The Gallery: One Day in August
I’m surprised to admit I love traveling on steam trains. There’s something about the smell, the atmosphere, the style and comfort of the carriages. Today we took our little one to the 36th Island Steam Show at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, a beautifully restored stretch of the old line which once crossed the…
Weaning (Part II)
We started weaning at 17 weeks according to advice from our Health Visitor. We tried some baby rice and quickly progressed to vegetable and fruit purees. Almost two months later and our little one will happily have three meals a day wherever we are. I’ve learned to stuff the changing bag with jars of food…
