This weeks Listography is your top 5 favourite sweets from your childhood. I have a real sweet tooth so it wasn’t hard. In fact, I could have listed my top 50 sweets with tom thumb drops, fizzy cola bottles, jazzies, popping candy and foam bananas. I’m old and I remember when 10p would buy a…
Vintage child’s chair
I’m enjoying the opportunity to share some of my favourite vintage finds with you all. I’ve had this vintage child’s chair for a while. I picked it up at a flea market on the Isle of Wight ages ago. However I just got it out as Edward is the right height to sit on it….
Do hotels and baby’s go together?
Last year we stayed in our favourite hotel when we visited my father-in-law who had fallen from a ladder. Fortunately he was fine but our hotel stay wasn’t so good. Since we’re been together we’ve always stayed in the same hotel whenever we go to Exeter. It’s an old-fashioned but modern boutique hotel in the…
I’m having the time of my life!
The last few weeks have been busy which is what I need to take my mind off my imminent return to work. Maternity leave is a a wonderful bubble and I’m glad I discovered the world of parent bloggers to help keep me company. A couple of weeks ago I went to work to discuss…

Land of Golden Sleep
We’re really fortunate that Edward is a good sleeper. However, not everyone baby is a good sleeper and the latest Pampers campaign may be of interest. As part of the launch of the new Baby-Dry nappy, Pampers have just launched the Land of Golden Sleep where mums can find helpful hints and tips to help…
Adventures in weaning
When Edward reached 10 months he’s suddenly became really adventurous with food. Although we still use the odd jar and pouch we’ve had some success with finger foods and food I’ve made. It’s fair to say he enjoys his food (like his mum and dad!). Today for example he had baby muesli, a small marmite…
