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…
Nutella cupcakes
A couple of weeks ago I kept coming across lots of mentions of Nutella. It seems some lucky bloggers were invited to attend an event where the nutritional benefits of Nutella were extolled. We always have a jar of Nutella in the cupboard as I am quite partial to Nutella on my toast for breakfast….
Baby bouncer
A couple of weeks ago we bought Edward a Lindam bouncer. It was recommended by all our friends and seemed simple enough to use. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1gJF_QwpxI&fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0] He loves it and spends some time in it each day.
Changing bags
Whilst pregnant I could not decide on a changing bag. I knew I needed one but I couldn’t find one I really liked or justify an Orla Kiely bag. I knew any bag would need to be spacious. I am a hoarder and on a good day I have carried nappies, wipes, nappy bags, bottles…

Another day another softie
Whilst on holiday on the Isle of Wight I really wanted to make and drop another toy for The Toy Society. So that’s exactly what I did using this pattern. We sneaked out after the baby was in bed (don’t worry, my mum was at home!) and dropped the felt scottie dog by the children’s…
Through a child's eyes
Having a child makes you see things in a different light. I have a new found appreciation for the world and my life. Today we looked after my 6 year old niece as well as our little one. We let her pick what she wanted to do and went to McDonalds for breakfast followed by…
