Me and the paparazzi

Posted on November 5, 2010August 30, 2022 by jenny

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…

Royal Mail have just launched their new Christmas stamps which feature two of my favourite characters, Wallace and Gromit. Religious and secular themed stamps are published in alternate years and this year is the turn of secular designs (stamps featuring the Madonna and child are also on sale). There are five stamps specially created by…

Review: The Second Baby Survival Guide

Posted on November 4, 2010 by jenny

Almost since the day we took Edward home from the hospital I’ve been wondering when was the best time for baby number two. I love Edward and I’m surprised how much I enjoy being a mother. I’m not sure what I expected but the last seven and a half months have been exciting and exhilarating…

Review: Miffy rattle car

Posted on October 26, 2010August 29, 2018 by jenny

The lovely people at Miffy sent Edward a toy from the new selection of classic Miffy toys which have never been available in the UK before. The Miffy rattle car is suitable from 6 months and features a chunky handle – prefect for little chubby fingers learning to grip. Each of the four wheels contains…

Quinny have asked to have a look at the chassis of our Quinny Zapp Xtra in light of it falling over with Edward in it. So it has been carefully packed and returned to Quinny HQ. We look forward to seeing if they find anything wrong with it. In the meantime, we will be resorting…

Where do all the Bepanthen samples go?

Posted on October 15, 2010July 1, 2025 by jenny

I’ve just collected my 6 month sample pack from Bounty. I love a freebie and that didn’t change during my pregnancy when I signed up to every mother and baby club I could find. I’ve benefited from lots of samples which have helped me choose the best products for my little boy. I’m brand aware…

Being mummy

Posted on October 14, 2010July 28, 2012 by jenny

What is it about being a mummy to an adorable little boy that has turned me into some kind of Nigella? Since having Edward I just want to bake and cook all day long, even though he is still on the puree. Long gone are the days I would nip into M&S for something to…

Cocktails and canapes

Posted on October 10, 2010May 2, 2012 by jenny

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…

Quinny Casters News #5

Posted on October 9, 2010July 8, 2016 by jenny

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…
