The theme for The Gallery this week is your favourite photograph. I’ve been a total geek since Edward was born and everyday I’ve taken a photo of him. He has his own little blog which I use for updating the extended family on his progress. My iPhoto is creaking with the amount of photos I’ve…

Nursing chairs
When I was pregnant the magazines I read were full of expensive nursing chairs. I began to believe that I wouldn’t be truly happy as a mother if I didn’t have an expensive chair and matching footstool to rest my weary body on. Fortunately I found an antique Lloyd Loom nursing chair in need of…
Teething solutions
Edward has been showing signs of teething for months: dribbling, chewing his fingers and waking during the night where he previously slept through. Some mums at the mother and baby groups I go to mentioned amber teething necklaces. Apparently they are a natural analgesiac and can help with teething pains. They are quite affordable so…
Not a happy QuinnyCaster
I’m feeling a bit down today as I took Edward out in the new Quinny Zapp Xtra and it fell over with him in it. Quinny said we should be honest in our reviews so I’m going to let you know what happened. I decided to test drive the Quinny on public transport and put…
Refashioned beanbag
A while ago I bought Edward a beanbag chair but he never looked very comfortable sitting on it. So over the weekend I refashioned the beanbag into a large cushion using some lovely alphabet fabric from my Cath Kidston stash! Much happier (honest!).

As mentioned yesterday our roast chicken was eaten with roast potatoes, roast parsnips and yorkshire puddings from Aunt Bessie’s range. This was one of the easiest (and tastiest!) meals I have prepared in a long time and allowed me plenty of…

QuinnyCasters News #4
We took the Quinny Zapp Xtra out today for the first time. We had plans to meet a friend for lunch so hopped on the tube to the other side of London. We had a lovely walk along the Thames, lunch in a great pub, followed by a spot of shopping. The Quinny did us…
Yesterday a taxi driver saved my life
Yesterday a taxi driver saved my life. Ok, so I’m being a bit dramatic but seriously a taxi driver did help us! Our NCT group have been looking for events to get us through the colder months and someone came across Mini Mozart classes. It’s very popular but we managed to squeeze into the post-natal…
