Apps to keep toddlers busy over Christmas!

Posted on December 21, 2011December 21, 2011 by jenny

Big Brother has been a bit poorly which means we’ve been spending lots of time snuggled up indoors trying to find things to do. Fortunately he likes playing games on the iPad and iPhone, in between episodes of Chuggington and coughing, so we’ve been trying out some new apps. Based on the original books by…

Gurgle magazine

Posted on May 29, 2011May 2, 2012 by jenny

There’s a new glossy magazine aimed at modern mum’s just like me and you. It’s called Gurgle and available exclusively in Mothercare stores, Early Learning Centres, or via subscription. So what do you get for the princely sum of £2? I was sent the first copy to review and I loved it. It is packed…

A tourist in our own city

Posted on October 22, 2010September 4, 2024 by jenny

Today we met my cousin and her family as she hadn’t yet met Edward. We had lunch in the cafe at the Mamas and Papas on Regent Street. The food is delicious, the location is perfect and it’s never too busy as not many people seem to know about it. Edward got lots of kisses…

Product review: Nigella Quick Collection iphone app

Posted on August 19, 2010November 18, 2022 by jenny

I recently offered to review an iPhone app for the Nigella Quick Collection. This app contains lots of recipes ideas for quick meals, laid out in 6 steps or less, and allows you to choose what to cook based on what key ingredient you have available. My little one is too young to cook with…

Lovely Cath Kidston iphone cover

Posted on May 22, 2010September 4, 2024 by jenny

Look what was waiting for me when I returned from the Isle of Wight yesterday – my lovely new Cath Kidston iphone cover. It’s almost perfect, the only part I don’t like is that it’s branded with the Cath Kidston logo on the inside – thankfully it can’t be seen when it’s on!

Cath Kidston iphone case

Posted on May 7, 2010September 4, 2024 by jenny

Easy Living magazine had a choice of two Cath Kidston bags with this months issue. I never buy the magazine but did today-just for the bag. I chose the pop flowers print and have already used it to carry nappies and bottles for a trip out today! The magazine also has a 15% voucher for…
