I’ve tried to take a photo of Edward every day since he was born and publish my favourite on my baby blog. When I heard this week’s Gallery theme I thought about leaving the camera next to my bed so I could photograph everything we did from the moment we woke up. Then I realised that I take so many photographs I could almost pick any 24 hour period to show. Yesterday was a great day, the sun shone, we visited our favourite farm and saw lots of family, so have a look at our 24 hours: 1. breakfast time,…

It’s been a while since I have posted about my recent competition winnings. I’m finding less time so enter competitions as Edward is down to two naps during the day and they are getting shorter (already! he is only 8 months!). However I have had some great wins over the last few months. First of all I was lucky enough to win a Belling Butler in a Twitter competition. I’m not quite sure where we’re going to put it in our little terraced house but it will be great for dinner parties! Secondly I’ve been lucky enough to win a…

Last night I went to a swanky London venue to learn more about the latest third generation Flip Video pocket camcorder. On arrival we were met by members of the paparazzi who filmed us walking down the red carpet. Then we were given delicious red button cocktails and some yummy canapes. The room was full of bloggers and journalists all keen to learn more about the latest Flip. I was given the chance to play with one of the new Flip camcorders which has just been launched. It was really simple to use and my short film was viewed on…

We were lucky enough to be invited to London Zoo to help celebrate the launch of the new Royal Mail Winnie the Pooh stamps. This was the first time that we had taken Edward to London Zoo so we were all very excited. Winnie the Pooh stamps at London Zoo We saw penguins, an owl, lions, tigers, gorillas and giraffes (our very favourite animals) and lots more animals. London Zoo kindly provided afternoon tea which was followed by a reading from Winnie the Pooh. Edward was very well behaved and was rewarded with a set of the new Winnie the…

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 I’m not sure we would go again. Although we got there at 10am the place filled up really quickly and it was difficult to move between pregnant women and buggies 🙂 We watched a first aid demonstration by the British Red Cross and listened to…

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 and couples from his adoring great aunt and cousins, and pressies too, so he was very excited. After lunch we went for a walk around central London. Although we often pop into the West End we never seem to have time to relax and be…

This week I had a rare night out and I went to my first ‘bloggers’ event: Victorinox Presents Bloggers Delight. I headed to the Victorinox flagship store on New Bond Street to view their new Autumn/Winter 2010 collection. On arrival we were greeted with a delicious choice of drinks and canapes (always a winner in my book!). We had an informal look round the three floors of the shop, viewing their collections of knives, luggage, clothing, perfume and watches. Victorinox is famous for supplying multi-purpose knives to the Swiss Army since 1891 but it is only recently that the brand…

Today we decided to take the Quinny Zapp Xtra out for a spin in central London. We wanted to go and visit an exhibition at the wonderful Museum of London where I worked a couple of years ago. Here’s my video of my husband unpacking the Quinny Zapp Xtra from the car and putting it together. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W6bkwMALH4&fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0] As you can see it’s really easy to unpack and put together. We spent some time in the Museum of London before we had lunch then went for a stroll around Smithfield and did some geocaching. Edward was so comfortable that he slept…
