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. Nippaz With Attitude review Big Brother refused to wear the skinny jeans I bought him so daddy chose a tshirt for him, hoping that he would wear something chosen by him for a change. He picked this radical red thsirt, printed with the words Fight…

Today was my birthday! It’s very strange having a birthday when you have children – no lie in and no leisurely opening of presents for me! However, I enjoyed opening my gifts with the little people and their infectious smiles and giggles. My son may have even opened a present or two for me. A grand day out I had a lovely day. This morning we headed to Covent Garden for a lovely crafty blogging event to learn more about Stampin’ Up. I really enjoyed learning about paper craft and was able to make two beautiful cards whilst the children…

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.

This year I decided to help my son make me a Mother’s Day card. Is that bad? It probably won’t be the first or last time. It was pretty simple, based on Big Brothers hand print. Can you tell we love painting with our hands! We’ve turned his lovely hand print into a flower – spring is in the air after all! If you’re looking for somewhere special to take your mum this Mother’s Day take a look at my contribution to the Guoman Hotel’s blog where I share my favourite place for tea and cake in north London. Hope…

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 which have washed and dried really well. Little Sis hates getting dressed so the press stud fastenings on the back are a really handy feature enabling quick dressing without any fuss. The sizing is also very generous which is good as LS is already quite…

I’m glad that gingerbread is no longer a seasonal food. Last week I spotted some mini gingerbread men in someone else’s shopping basket in M&S so made it my mission to try some too. Today was the lucky day and I grabbed a box whilst searching for something for dinner. The packs contain 12 mini gingerbread men and the branding is lovely and simple, similar to the Christmas tin of gingerbread biscuits I bought. The 12 mini gingerbread men are nicely packaged and delicious! As with most biscuits they didn’t last long once the packet was opened. I had a…

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”, quickly followed by “nanny” and more and more words, none of which were “mummy”. Of course, when he did finally get round to saying it he didn’t stop! He often calls out “mummy”, especially when I’m not in the room, and will laugh when I…
