    Day Zero – Month Three (January)

    It’s been a while since I posted an update on my Day Zero progress as Christmas and New Year took over normal service. However I’ve managed to tick off a few more goals: The big decision was made about returning to work and we found a great little nursery for Edward I bought a new Orla Kiely handbag (a treat for the decision above) We’ve been watching a new film every month, mainly cheesy flicks but also An Education which I really enjoyed I’ve been busy cooking and this month I tried a new recipe – stovies I booked driving…

    Maclaren baby travel kit – final thoughts

    I can’t believe we’ve now been using the maclaren baby travel kit for four weeks. The travel sized products have lasted well through several uses. Unfortunately one of the bottles leaked in the post so the lovely Maclaren people sent a replacement kit. This has been the only problem. We’ve enjoyed using each product. Although we’ve never used special baby products before we’ve relished the opportunity of adding luxury to bath time. Edward’s skin has benefited from the natural ingrdients and is soft and smooth. He still has a mad half hour of energy before bed but using the bath…

    A couple of days before Christmas and I have just the gift for expectant mums, new mums or mums and little ones who deserve a special treat!

We’ve now used all the travel size pots and would recommend it as a great gift at any time of the year. The travel kit for…

    Maclaren Kid Testing

    We’ve now been using our lovely beginning….bath products at every bath time for the last week. Edward is taking his responsibilities as a Maclaren Kid Tester very seriously and we’ve been looking at each product, having a chew on the packaging and smelling each bottle before use. Bath time is usually quite simple as we generally only use E45 bath oil but we’ve been pleasantly surprised how easy it’s been to incorporate the Maclaren range of products during and after Edward’s bath time. Edward loves the bath products, they make his skin very soft and help him relax. We usually…

    beginning… by Maclaren (initial thoughts)

    As you know Edward is an official Maclaren Kid Tester and he was recently sent beginning… by Maclaren bath products to test out in his everyday life. The other day we were very excited to receive a parcel containing beginning… by Maclaren. The packaging is beautiful and just what you would expect from such a well known brand. Edward loves anything new so was eager to hold (and suck) the packaging. The travel kit for baby contains miniatures of their natural and organic-based ingredients without harmful toxic or chemical additives. As a new mum I try to use only organic…
