This weeks theme for The Gallery is a Photo I’m Proud of. Since my little one was born I’ve tried to take a photograph of him every day and posted it here. I found that the quality of my photographs wasn’t very good so recently upgraded to a Lumix G Micro System. The photographs are…

Orla Kiely fragrance
Today we had a rare trip into the West End. We took the little one on his first trip to the British Museum followed by his first trips to Cath Kidston and Orla Kiely – my two favourite shops! I have a real passion for Orla Kiely. I drink out of Orla Kiely mugs, I…
The Gallery: A Memory
Instead of posting a picture I’m going to re-direct you to my other blog. Just before Edward was due my husband thought it would be fun to give the baby his or her own blog , where we could post photos and let our relatives know what we were up to. Although I thought this…
Plum goodies
This morning we were very excited to receive two big boxes full of beautifully packed Plum baby food! I love filling in questionnaires and apparently we won the prize for telling Plum our opinion of fromage frais!

The Gallery: Playtime
My little one has reached the stage where he loves to play. He spends the whole day laughing and giggling but his face really lights up when you get down to his level and play. We’ve tried not to go too mad buying toys but I didn’t anticipate his favourite pasttime would be lying on…
Cheating
While I was pregnant I joined lots of clubs to help me decide what products I should use. One of my favourite is Hipp Organic and we have been sent some great samples of baby foods. I try really hard not to succumb to marketing gimmicks but I genuinely like Hipp Organic as it is…
Peltor ear defenders
Today we went to the Farnborough International Airshow 2010. It was a bit of a drive but my husband really wanted to see the Vulcan fly and I love the Red Arrows! We couldn’t leave Edward behind but needed something to protect him from the noise of the aircraft. A friend recommended Peltor ear defenders…
