Nippaz With Attitude review

Posted on March 22, 2012November 7, 2023 by jenny

Do you have a trendy toddler? I don’t. He seems happiest when he’s wearing head to toe Thomas the Tank Engine clothing which is why I was delighted to hear about Nippaz With Attitude. This is an online clothing store selling cool unique baby clothing, music and gifts for funky street cred kids and babies….

Review: Johnson’s Skin Perfecting Oil

Posted on March 18, 2012April 12, 2012 by jenny

According to research by Johnson’s, 70% of mums with children aged 0-3 months experience stretch marks (vs. 44% of the general population) and 53% of mums are concerned about their stretch marks. I can hold my hand up and say I have stretch marks, two pregnancies in two years didn’t give my poor skin much…

Vertbaudet – pretty clothes for girls

Posted on March 15, 2012November 25, 2025 by jenny

Vertbaudet kindly offered to send me some clothes for Little Sis to review. I didn’t need to be asked twice as I love dressing her up, boys clothes are so boring and practical! They sent us two outfits, perfect for the beautiful spring weather from their Spring/Summer collection. Both outfits were in pure breathable cotton…

Mum you’re fabulous!

Posted on March 14, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

This year I’ll be celebrating my second Mother’s Day with my little family. I’m totally immersed in my little bubble of motherhood and enjoy every second, well, most of the time. My toddler has always made lots of noise but the one word I really wanted to hear was “mummy”. His first word was “daddy”,…

Homes for London

Posted on March 14, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

I’m a proud Londoner and have lived all over the place since moving to London in 2001. I’ve lived south and north and even east! I’ve been lucky to live with friends, friends of friends and strangers who have become friends. My accommodation has ranged from damp basement flats in Tufnell Park, to roomy flats…

Toddler talk

Posted on March 11, 2012January 5, 2013 by jenny

I know I have a typical toddler. At 23 months he has a huge vocabulary and is starting to string words together. He understands most things I say but he gets frustrated easily when he can’t show or tell me what he wants. I’m really cross (with myself) that we stopped going to baby signing…

Miffy’s garden app

Posted on March 6, 2012September 7, 2023 by jenny

I love it when a classic storybook character is brought to life which is why we’re very happy that the iconic white bunny, Miffy,  is the star of a new iPad app. Miffy was created by Dutch illustrator, Dick Bruna, nearly 60 years ago and the App offers a great new way for parents with…

Coughs and sneezes

Posted on February 26, 2012 by jenny

The downside of having one child at nursery and a newborn too is that the older sibling tends to bring home germs, along with his paintings and scuffed knees. Ever since Big Brother started nursery late last year he’s had an endless runny nose and cough. I spend all weekend feeding him up in the…

Stories of Motherhood

Posted on February 26, 2012 by jenny

One of my favourite dates in the year is Mother’s Day! There’s something rather lovely about celebrating mum’s and I remember celebrating my first Mother’s Day just days after my son was born a couple of years ago. I really don’t expect a present from my two this year (a day off from nappies and…
