My daughter has recently been trying out her first pair of shoes. Starting out in Australia, the SKEANIE brand – loved by little feet around the world – has come to Europe.

Weaning 2.0
Little Sis loves watching us when we eat so we’re beginning to think about starting weaning in a couple of weeks. I loved weaning her brother and still enjoy cooking for him so I’m really hoping it will be as straightforward as I remember! I’ve been busy stocking up on products such as hard wearing…
Does my baby have colic?
It’s not often that I liken my youngest to a panda but it seems that she’s had something in common with the newest inhabitants at Edinburgh Zoo. The dreaded colic.

Where my husband tells me he hates babies
A good friend told me that conversations taking place between a mummy and daddy between the hours of 11pm and 5am don’t count. Which is just as well as yesterday morning my husband told me he hates babies, in particular, our baby. I think he has forgotten that newborns are pretty clueless about bedtimes. Little…
Personalised baby vest
Difficult to believe my little girl is 2 weeks’ old already. Our first few weeks together have been lots of fun although my fingers have been itching to pick up some sewing! As we knew our due date we had time to customise a vest for Little Sister. I would love to claim the idea…
