Did you know that your empty Johnson’s Baby Wipes packs are full of potential? Johnson’s have joined forces with TerraCycle to launch the new ‘Wipe Out Waste’ initiative. The aim is to reduce waste and its impact on the environment, whilst raising money for charity. The packs are upcycled and turned into bibs, mousemats, baby wipes holders or splash mats! Today Edward and I joined a host of other mummy bloggers to learn about this new initiative. Whilst Edward had fun at a tea party I listened to experts from Johnson’s and TerraCycle tell us how the campaign works. Have…

When we were preparing for the arrival of our new baby we shopped around for beautiful things that would keep him warm, comfortable and look good. We ended up with a selection of blankets, which all offered something a little bit different. We were recently sent a blanket to review and we have been using it over the last week or two, we even took it on holiday with us. As you can see Edward loves it and has been carrying it around with him and snuggling up with it whenever he can. The blanket has been through the washing…

A while ago I attended a Nappucino to learn more about real nappies. The Borough I live in give vouchers towards the cost of real nappies to encourage people to give them a go. To be honest I have struggled with real nappies but I try to use them whenever I can, especially when we are staying close to home. We were sent two bumGenius V4 from baby kind to try. The bumGenius v4 is a stay-dry, one-size pocket nappy. The good points: built in waterproof outer cover and inner lining hook and loop or poppers to fasten…

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 they don’t stay on his feet. The pre shoes however are a firm favourite. Most importantly they are comfortable. They are made of soft leather with an anti-slip suede sole. Secondly they stay on. They are a simple slip on (hooray, no laces or buckles)…

As you know Edward is an official Maclaren Kid Tester and he was recently sent beginning… by Maclaren bath products to test out in his everyday life. The other day we were very excited to receive a parcel containing beginning… by Maclaren. The packaging is beautiful and just what you would expect from such a well known brand. Edward loves anything new so was eager to hold (and suck) the packaging. The travel kit for baby contains miniatures of their natural and organic-based ingredients without harmful toxic or chemical additives. As a new mum I try to use only organic…

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 cup. We already use some of their products for our homemade baby food so I was keen to check out what else they made. This cup can be used from baby to toddler as the teat and handles can be removed for different stages of…
