It’s been a sad week as we finally returned the Bugaboo Bee we had on loan. I loved that buggy so much! I would definitely buy one if Little Sis was younger but she’s keen to walk rather than sit these days. Fortunately for me she does still need a buggy – where would I put my shopping if I didn’t have one!? Citygrips – pushchair handlebar grip covers We were sent some fun citygrips from choopie who create innovative, affordable and stylish products that make life easier and brighter for parents. Citygrips are soft, stylish and comfortable grip covers…

As you know we were lucky enough to be lent a Bugaboo Bee to help us during our Summer Bucket List. Our summer isn’t over yet as the toddler doesn’t start nursery until the 26th so we’re still busy going out and about. Little Sis sleeping I absolutely adore the Bugaboo Bee, as I knew I would. Most of my NCT group had one, but we were sensible and bought a second hand Bugaboo Cameleon, which I adored at the time. Anyway, I thought it might be useful to compare the Bugaboo Bee and Bugaboo Cameleon. The Bugaboo Cameleon…

A couple of weeks ago I was offered a Bugaboo Bee to help us complete our Summer Bucket List. You may remember I had a much-loved Bugaboo Cameleon so I was delighted to try the Bee. Although we haven’t been very successful in ticking things off our Summer Bucket List we have been out and about every day with the Bugaboo Bee. We’ve been on the tube. We’ve been on the bus. We’ve pounded the local streets and loaded it down with some fab vintage finds. We’ve been to the park, visited friends, and slept. And slept some more. It’s…

As a self-confessed pram addict I feel the need to keep up to date with the latest launches which is why yesterday I found myself at the UK launch of the Orbit Baby G2 buggy. Afternoon tea in the beautiful Loft Lounge at The Hospital Club, Covent Garden, was an added bonus. The Orbit Baby G2 is a pioneering buggy which launched in the UK for the very first time yesterday. It is the product of a two-year process of user research, and has already experienced tremendous success in the United States, with an A-list celebrity following (Natalie Portman, Maggie…

I’ve always thought of myself as a bit of a pram junkie. I was lucky enough to have been chosen to test the new iCandy Strawberry over the last few months. It’s a nice pram but it didn’t blow me away so I decided to give it back early. I found it a bit big for using on public transport so it’s gone. We’re not missing it so I know I made the right decision. This means that Little Sis is getting to use the front seat of the Phil & Ted’s a lot more as the toddler just loves…

Today was the day we had tickets for the Synchronised Swimming at the Olympic Park. We decided to take the toddler but leave the 8 month old with nanny who was happy to shop at Westfield Stratford. We drove to Buckhurst Hill and got the tube from there to Stratford which was only a couple of stops. Initially we had the tube to ourself, although it got busier at every station nearer to the Olympic Park. Once we got off the tube we felt like we were part of a very well-oiled machine. As well as thousands of spectators there…

The latest celebrity must-have looks like it will be the fabulous limited edition Joolz as chosen by Sienna Miller. Little Sis and I were invited to Soho House for the exciting reveal of two new editions of the Joolz travel system, the award winning Dutch brand (they’ve just been awarded a Gold Mother & Baby award for best travel system). When the email inviting us to see these new travel systems landed in my inbox I couldn’t wait to take a look – it’s not every day a launch is held at the exclusive Soho House. Little Sis and I…

I’m at war with my pram. I don’t understand it. It was expensive and the ‘must have’ accessory where we live but it’s by no means ideal. At one point late last year we had 6 prams stuffed in every corner of the house and sheds (yes sheds, our house is overflowing!). We sold 2 and left one at my mum’s so now we have just 3. That leaves our Voyage which I love. I can’t bear to part with it and I live in hope that one day we will leave the house with BB walking and LS in…

Hello Third Trimester! I’ve been so busy my feet are barely touching the ground lately! Last week I had a Glucose Challenge Test (which is part of the screening for gestational diabetes) and an extra scan. I’m not too sure what the scan was meant to be checking but everything seemed to be fine. I had an appointment with a consultant today (only my third appointment this pregnancy) and am booked in for another appointment at 36 weeks. I know I’m happy and healthy but I do find it strange I’m 7 months pregnant and have only had three appointments,…
