The Gallery – body parts

Posted on January 11, 2011 by jenny

I haven’t participated in The Gallery for ages but I couldn’t resist this week’s prompt – body parts. I have lots of pictures of Edward showing varying degrees of beautiful baby chubbyness. However, we’ve recently put up a stair gate and I couldn’t resist this picture: Not many body parts fit through those bars!

Water wipes

Posted on January 9, 2011November 8, 2018 by jenny

Maclaren baby travel kit – final thoughts

Posted on December 29, 2010April 22, 2012 by jenny

We were recently sent a BabyDan magnetic drawer/cupboard lock to review. I was really happy to try this as Edward is increasingly moving around and it won’t be long before we have to have a serious think about locks on cupboards and stair gates. The magnetic drawer/cupboard lock was simple to fit and can be…

Separation anxiety

Posted on November 26, 2010May 2, 2012 by jenny

Right now I feel torn in two. Edward and I spend every day together but my husband has been in hospital since Tuesday evening for his planned stoma reversal surgery. We’ve been staying with my mum so she can look after Edward and I can visit my husband. It’s so hard leaving Edward in the…

Posted on November 24, 2010August 30, 2022 by jenny
