New shoes!

Posted on November 6, 2012July 1, 2016 by jenny

I felt a bit emotional yesterday. My 11 month old is growing up in leaps and bounds and I can’t help but feel happy and sad at the same time. She’s been giving us loads of problems lately – first it was off her milk completely, then off her food, then waking constantly in the…

The importance of clothes

Posted on October 30, 2012 by jenny

My 11 month old has white blond hair, a pair of sparkling blue eyes and a wicked smile. It seems like everyday she gets mistaken for a boy and it’s all my fault. You see, I’m thrifty and dress her in her brothers’ cast-offs. Most of which are blue. If you saw a child in…

3-in-1 Trike with DiscoverSounds Dashboard

Posted on October 26, 2012January 21, 2019 by jenny

I can honestly say we love Little Tikes so I was delighted to be asked to review the 3-in-1 Trike with DiscoverSounds Dashboard. The box was surprisingly small considering it converts to three stages and it was easy to put together (according to daddy). You don’t have to worry about storing lots of pieces to…

An Orla Kiely nursery?

Posted on October 17, 2012January 5, 2013 by jenny

Tots100 and Ratedpeople.com have challenged us to makeover a room in the most creative way we can think of. The timing is perfect, given as how I have moaned before about our lack of space. Our 10 month old still sleeps with us and I haven’t enjoyed sleeping through the night since she was born….

Little People Disney Princess castle review

Posted on October 16, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

Little Sis was incredibly lucky to be sent the Little People Disney Princess castle from Fisher-Price which is suitable for ages 18 months – 5 years. It was easy to assemble (according to daddy), it came with stickers to put on the castle and some of the accessories, and needed batteries (3 AAA batteries to…

Organic Monkey review

Posted on October 3, 2012November 7, 2020 by jenny

I was delighted to be asked to try some products by Organic Monkey who make nappy balm, scalp oil for cradle cap, belly oil and massage oil. We tried their Cheeky Monkey Cheek Rub oil and Rock the Cradle cradle cap oil. My 10 month old has been teething for months but, just like her…

Dear Zoo turns 30!

Posted on September 6, 2012September 5, 2012 by jenny

Last week we were invited to a lovely party to celebrate the family classic Dear Zoo turning 30 in 2012! In case you’ve never read it, it begins ‘I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet. So they sent me an…’ A series of unsuitable animals are sent by the zoo which are…

Cross stitched heart mural

Posted on August 27, 2012June 20, 2026 by jenny

To compensate for the fact the poor 8 month old has to share a room with us I thought I would decorate her cot. Our bedroom is in the loft conversion so, unlike the rest of our Edwardian terraced house, it has a really modern feel. Her cot is a simple one from Ikea in…

Practical solutions (Kiddicare review)

Posted on August 19, 2012April 18, 2015 by jenny

I was invited to take a look at the Kiddicare website and choose some items to review. Established in 1974, it is the UK’s leading online nursery retailer. I always have a mental list of things the children need and was really pleased when I sat down to browse the Kiddicare website to find everything…
