It’s now been a couple of weeks since we’ve been giving Little Sis a taste of what she’s missing out on! Over the weeks she’s really begun to open her mouth in anticipation and she’s finally grasped what to do with the puree when it’s in her mouth. It’s amazing to watch and she seems…

Celebrate the Year of the Dragon
A bottle of sweet chilli sauce has been a staple of my kitchen cupboards since I was at uni. Blue Dragon make lots of other lovely products and we were recently sent some goodies from their range. Tonight we had a delicious curry made with their coconut milk and Laksa curry paste – just the…
Mini micro 3in1 scooter
We’ve just come back from a lovely week away visiting family. We’re fortunate that the grandparents live by the sea in Devon and the Isle of Wight so there’s no excuse for not getting plenty of fresh air and exercise when we visit. One of the things we packed this time was Big Brother’s mini…

The Little Green Sheep sleeping bag review
Like many mothers I would love to clothe my children in organic clothes. Both suffer from eczema so we are really careful about the clothes we buy, the washing powder we use and cleaning products used around the house. I was offered some baby sleepwear from organic baby and bedding company The Little Green Sheep…
Elimination Communication?
I was reading the latest issue of Mother & Baby and there was an intriguing article about Elimination Communication. Basically it means not using nappies and just knowing when your child needs the toilet. Despite being a stay at home mum I just can’t imagine having the time to do this on top of everything…
