The theme for The Gallery this week is a celebration. I see a few people have chosen a photo of their wedding day but I’m not ashamed to admit that my wedding day wasn’t the best day of my life! We both dislike being the centre of attention and found the planning stressful and the…
Secret Post Swap
I had seen lots of mentions of Heather’s Secret Post Swap in the blog world and as I love swapping I decided to join in the fun. When partners were assigned I had a couple of weeks to cyber stalk my partner and find out what she likes. Cyber stalking felt very wrong but through…
Recent wins
One thing I love about mummy blogs is the opportunity to learn about new products and win them! My maternity pay will soon be coming to an end and we don’t have the money to spend like we used to. I’ve been really lucky recently and won a boppy feeding pillow from And Then There…

Brother Max 4 in 1 cup
Yesterday I went to John Lewis with the aim of purchasing a cup for my little one. He’s coming up to 6 months and we thought it was time to introduce an alternative to his bottle. John Lewis stock a couple of brands but I loved the simplicity of the brother max 4 in 1…
