Earth Friendly Baby produce eco-friendly baby treats. We love using their products and Edward enjoys lovely bath times with a little help from their pure and natural range of everyday toiletries. We recently tried the Earth Friendly Baby Natural Unscented Massage Oil. It’s perfect for mums to be and babies and is crammed with nourishing ingredients…
(Review) Gurgle Baby Milestones
As a first time mum not too many months ago I meticulously recorded everything Edward did on paper and through his online blog. I also used the electronic baby journal WellStart but to be honest didn’t find it very easy to use and quickly abandoned it. So I was really happy to hear about Gurgle…
Jolly Gingers
I was so excited to see that the Biscuiteers have produced a range of gingerbread biscuits called jolly gingers. The biscuiteers bake and hand decorate biscuits (and more recently chocolates, cakes and sweeties). Undoubtedly beautiful and each one a work of art they are quite expensive so I was really happy to find an on-line…
Felt gingerbread love
‘Tis finally the season to be jolly which means I’ve been snapping up everything gingerbread to show you over the next couple of weeks. My energy levels are disappearing but I have a few swaps to honour before the arrival of Second Baby. This week I’ve been making a new type of gingerbread house for…
Gingerbread house finds
This week it’s all about the one that got away. I was browsing the charity shops in Muswell Hill when I spotted a lovely set of specimen drawers in the Oxfam shop. It was a small wooden unit with three full length drawers and four drawers of different sizes. It was beautiful and I started…
Half-term fun at the Tower of London

Pudsey and Blush fans are able to make their beary own BBC Children in Need mascot at any of 55 Build-A-Bear Workshop stores across the…
Diary of a Sleep Deprived Mum
My biggest fear about our new addition is the sleep deprivation! I have awful memories of the first few weeks with Edward where I quite literally wanted to gouge my burning eyes out I was so tired! At least I know what to expect this time. The people behind BBC Dragons’ Den success, Magic Blackout…
Gingerbread puddles
I bought some gingerbread puddles from Hotel Chocolat and, although they taste delicious on their own, thought I would use them in baking. This was a good excuse to try out the classic cupcake recipe from the Primrose Bakery but make my own buttercream using the gingerbread puddles. The cupcake recipe is simple and so…
