Body Confidence for mums

Posted on January 13, 2011May 7, 2025 by jenny

What’s your post-pregnancy body like or is that question too personal? It can’t be as bad as mine, and coupled with the festive season I really need to diet! Fortunately for me a DVD landed on my doorstep just after New Year which might just have the answer. Unlike the usual celebrity-endorsed fitness DVDs, The…

Water wipes

Posted on January 9, 2011November 8, 2018 by jenny

Before our son was born I admit I was pretty clueless about babies. It was only at our John Lewis nursery appointment that I learned about not using baby wipes for the first couple of weeks. So we stocked up on cotton wool and I religiously washed his face, fingers and toes with cotton wool…

Posted on January 9, 2011October 27, 2024 by jenny

I was lucky enough to win a Klip Kitz Toy Story Buzz Lightyear from Karen at All About The Boys. My son is too young to play with it so I gave it to our friends’ little boy who is 4 and Toy Story mad. Here is her review: William and Justin did it together…

What do men really think of pushchairs?

Posted on December 30, 2010August 14, 2019 by jenny

What do men think of pushchairs? We have a very trendy friend who only ever uses one hand to push his son around but I’m pleased to say when we’re out and about my husband does his fair share of pushing. So I thought I’d ask his for his thoughts on the Quinny Zapp Xtra:…

Maclaren baby travel kit – final thoughts

Posted on December 29, 2010April 22, 2012 by jenny

I can’t believe we’ve now been using the maclaren baby travel kit for four weeks. The travel sized products have lasted well through several uses. Unfortunately one of the bottles leaked in the post so the lovely Maclaren people sent a replacement kit. This has been the only problem. We’ve enjoyed using each product. Although…
