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…
Another scrappy swap
I’m trying to collect a range of fabrics so I don’t just have Cath Kidston fabrics. With this is mind I recently signed up for a Scrappy Fabric swap over at Very Berry Handmade. I sent off a pack of scraps to my partner Nikki (which I hope she liked) and received a little parcel…
Listography: Books and Babies
Books and babies is the theme for this weeks’ Listography over at Kate Takes 5. I love to read and I really want Edward to enjoy it too. We have books all over the house and keep a box of his books in the lounge so he can pull them out and look through them…
New shoes
Edward was lucky to be sent some lovely Pre Shoes to try. Edward loves them and has worn them every day since they arrived because they stay on his feet! At 11 months Edward has as many pairs of shoes as I do but he’s worn very few on them more than once, usually because…
Bedtime Routines
When I saw Emma‘s call for posts for her Bedtime Routines Carnival I thought it was a great opportunity to write down my experiences with Edward. As an expectant mum I went out and bought all the books I could find, including Gina Ford’s Contented Little Baby. People seem to either love or hate her…
Vintage fuzzy felt
This is the first time I have joined in with Magpie Monday. I’m addicted to charity shops and have some lovely vintage finds dotted around our house. Unfortunately there are only a few charity shops where we live and I have to wait until I visit my family in other parts of the country to…
Friday Club Life Carnival: your favourite childhood memory
I love Ella’s Notes From Home – do I say that every week? Words don’t come naturally to me and I love that her prompts help me to find my writing voice. This week’s prompt is a goodie: a favourite childhood memory. I find I’ve created false memories from looking back through my old photo…
Our Half-Term Adventure: London Aquarium
We had an adventure last week when we hopped on the tube and ventured into central London. Wednesday was my husband’s birthday and we thought we’d head to the SEA LIFE London Aquarium for the day. Pre-baby we used to do pop into town at the drop of a hat but with a small child…
